The Candy Store

She's got sparkles
Ooohh, just look at her sparkles
Sparkly little girl
Twirl around, lemme see
Hey Darnell, get the camera
For real, get the camera
Look at her with those sparkles

What do you want, baby?
Anything you want
You got
You got me?

Darnell, snap a photo
Pucker your lips, baby
Smile for the flash
Don't stash that smile away
Play with the camera
Make it your friend
Let's get it in one shot
I don't want to do this again

Oooh, she's so cute
Cute little thing
Pink earrings
And everything

Is she Asian?
Darnell, is she Asian?
I can't even tell, Darnell
But it doesn't matter
Those sparkles
Are going to shatter the lens
Don't even pretend they're not
Have you got it?
Have you?

Darnell?
Have you got it?

If we get this photo, baby
I'm going to take you to the candy store
That where you want to go?
You can pick any candy you want
Gumballs and yo-yo's
Load you up with M&M's
With the peanuts all up in 'em
Make 'em taste like butter
Wait for the shutter

Darnell
Snap it fast
Those sparkles are going
They won't last all day
Showing up on her face
Like angel dust
Not that kind of angel dust
My momma used to say
That tears on a beautiful woman
Is just Heaven's form of rust

She used to say that
Because she'd cry all the time
And I'd never know why
And soon enough
I didn't care

Pucker those lips, girl
Toss that hair
And we'll go the candy store
That where you want to go?
After we're done here
Then that's where we'll go
So no need to cry
You're going to mess up your eyes
And I wouldn't like that
Now would I?

Just smile like you're smiling
Darnell, keep snapping
Snap that shutter
Till it shuts
That photos gonna have guts
It's going to be something
We're all going to be something
When we see that photo
Ain't that something
The things you can capture
That you can lock into place

Sparkles
Like those
On a little girl's face

And after we're done
We're going to the candy store
'Cause that's the place
Ain't no place nicer
Than the candy store

So that's where we're going
Just us three
Just as soon
As she says 'Cheese'
