Lyrics for Candy From A Stranger

The theme for the ceremony Was "dress up as a song" And you were Crazy In Love I was Raspberry Beret Which gave me the guts To approach you and say "So how did you choose which song to be?" You said, "It didn't hit me 'til now 'Til I saw your face ('til I saw your face) 'Til I saw your smile Where have you been all this time? (Where have you been all this time?)" Baby, baby, you said, "Hey, I never caught your name (I never caught your name) But didn't we meet once Different time, different place?" Wait, what was that pill you gave to me? It tasted like Hairspray And now the music's in my veins My mum said to never take candy From the hand of a stranger So now we have to get to know each other I just remembered now How much I love your face (how much I love your face) Your stupid smile Where have you been all this time? (Where have you been all this time?) Baby, baby, hey, how did I ever forget (how did I ever forget) To not take you for granted? I'm so sorry 'bout that Let's pretend we're strangers again Write down your number in the palm of my hand Let's get crazy in love Waving down taxis, because we can't get home fast enough
