  • I was there to witness
    Candice's inner business
    She wants the boys to notice
    Her rainbows, and her ponies
    She was educated
    But could not count to ten
    How she got lots of different horses
    By lots of different men
    And I say

    Liberate your sons and daughters
    The bush is high
    But in the hole there's water
    You can get some, when they give it
    Nothing sacred, but it's a living

    Hey ho here she goes
    Either a little too high or a little too low
    Got no self-esteem and vertigo
    'Cause she thinks she's made of candy
    Hey ho here she goes
    Either a little too loud or a little too close
    There's a hurricane in the back of her throat
    And she thinks she's made of candy

    Ring a ring of roses
    Whoever gets the closest
    She comes and she goes
    As the war of the roses
    Mother was a victim
    Father beat the system
    By moving bricks to Brixton
    And learning how to fix them
    Liberate your sons and daughters
    The bush is high
    But in the hole there's water
    As you win
    She'll be the Hollywood love
    And if it don't feel good
    What are you doing this for
    Now tell me

    Hey ho here she goes
    Either a little too high or a little too low
    Got no self-esteem and vertigo
    'Cause she thinks she's made of candy
    Hey ho here she goes
    Either a little too loud or a little too close
    There's a hurricane in the back of her throat
    And she thinks she's made of candy

    Liberate your sons and daughters
    The bush is high
    But in the hole there's water
    As you win
    She'll be the Hollywood love
    And if you don't feel good
    What are you doing it for
    What are you doing it for
    What are you doing it for
    What are you doing it for
    What are you doing it for
    What are you doing it for
    What are you doing it for
    What are you doing it for
    What are you doing it for

    Hey ho here she goes
    Either a little too high or a little too low
    Got no self-esteem and vertigo
    'Cause she thinks she's made of candy
    Hey ho here she goes
    Either a little too loud or a little too close
    There's a hurricane in the back of her throat
    And she thinks she's made of candy

    Hey ho here she goes
    Either a little too high or a little too low
    Got no self-esteem and vertigo
    'Cause she thinks she's made of candy
    Hey ho here she goes
    Either a little too loud or a little too close
    There's a hurricane in the back of her throat
    And she thinks she's made of candy Writer/s: Gary Barlow, Robert Peter Williams, Terje Olsen
