| I blew in on the west wind | |
| To where the wind was cold | |
| Money in my pocket | |
| Nothing in my soul | |
| In the lobby at the hotel | |
| She caught my eye | |
| She looked vulnerable | |
| And strong at the same time | |
| Down in the city | |
| Where the lights shine red | |
| Just a lonely John and a Russian princess | |
| I said "Baby, here I am | |
| I've been sent to save you | |
| From this broken land | |
| Where the skies are always blue | |
| I can make your dreams come true | |
| I wanna be your candy man" | |
| She left her little baby | |
| By her momma's side | |
| Said she'd be back | |
| Then she turned and walked and cried | |
| She ain't returning | |
| 'Til she can do it right | |
| With a bigger bag of money | |
| I said "I can help you honey" | |
| I said "Baby, here I am | |
| I've been sent to save you | |
| From this broken land | |
| Where the skies are always blue | |
| I can make your dreams come true | |
| I wanna be your candy man" | |
| Baby, here I am | |
| I've been sent to save you | |
| From this broken land | |
| Where the skies are always blue | |
| I can make your dreams come true | |
| I wanna be your candy man |
