Elvis Costello So Like Candy Lyrics

So Like Candy Lyrics

Here lies the powder and perfume
The pretty clothes are scattered `round the room
And it`s so like Candy

Here lies the lipstick and the face
The coloured tablets keep it all in place
And it`s so like Candy
So like Candy

CHORUS
What did I do to make her go
Why must she be the one
That I have to love
So like Candy

Here lies a picture of a girl
Her arms are tight around that lucky guy
And it`s so like Candy

And in her eyes a certain look
I thought I`d seen the last of long ago
And it`s so like Candy
So like Candy

CHORUS

I remember the day that picture was taken
We were so happy then
But that`s so like Candy
She seemed so sweet to me I was mistaken
Oh no not that again
But that`s so like Candy
She just can`t face the day
So she turns and melts away

Here lie the records that she scratched
And on the sleeve I find a note attached
And it`s so like Candy
"My Darling Dear it`s such a waste"
She couldn`t say "goodbye", but "I admire your taste"
And it`s so like Candy
So like Candy
