- Songwriters: Tori Amos
Don't tell me a woman did this to you
Candy lies, candy lies, candy lies
You touched my hand, I felt a force
You called it dark but now I'm not so sure
Just stay awhile, stay awhile, stay awhile
Why don't you stay awhile, stay awhile, stay awhile
'Cause your wild card boy needs playing
Don't believe the lie your dragon needs slaying
Won't you lay here with me and I will bring kisses for the beast
Lay here with me, here with me
Don't tell me a woman did this to you
Candy lies, candy lies, candy lies
When I look back over documents and pages
Ancient savageries christened those inflated
Now it has come to light
The Gods, they have slipped up
They forgot about the power of a woman's love
Just stay awhile, stay awhile, stay awhile
Why don't you stay awhile, stay awhile, stay awhile
Why don't you stay awhile, stay awhile, stay awhile
'Cause your wild card boy needs playing
Don't believe the lie your dragon needs slaying
Won't you lay here with me and I will bring kisses for the beast
Lay here with me, here with me
Don't tell me a woman did this to you
Candy lies, candy lies, candy lies, candy lies
Forgive my candy lies
