I was merely a distant shadow in your bright eyes and beautiful crowd
With all those shiny things around you, I knew I'd only let you down

Candi O you're not so hot anymore, but I'm still amazed
Candi O the trendy ones come and go, but to me you're the same

I knew I'd never convince you to cross the tracks, so I didn't bother to try
So I let you swim with all the sharks in high rent, who would revel in your demise

Candi O you're not so hot anymore, but I'm still amazed
Candi O the trendy ones come and go, but to me you're the same
Candi O I think that it's time we show a spark of our own
Candi O, so drop the bravado and hold my hand

It's in your face, it's in your race, the way you wear it, Candi O
I'm no longer square, I cut my hair, you won't have to share me Candi O
