Story Behind The Song
Candy Kisses was written about a long term romantic friendship with a person who shares a strong mutual attraction but many differences as well. We will often sneak away together for weekends in Vegas or LA. There is a push/pull, hot/cold kind of struggle as we go through the ups and downs of our undefined relationship. But we somehow always manage come back together and he is always the love of my life in spite of our challenges.
Song Description
Candy Kisses is a lighthearted fun relaxed up tempo song with a kicked back reggae flavor to the beat. It begins with missing his candy sweet kisses and the times we spent at a hotel in Vegas. The chorus speaks of our differences in personality, we have opposing views but in spite of those differences he is everything to me. The second verse points out that he is careful while I am carefree, he is serious, I am silly. I tend to do the opposite of what he says.
The bridge states that I like him the way he is, don't change anything!

Lyrics
I miss your candy kisses, Cherry sweet & delicious
It feels like it's been ages
I can't help but remember, Those days we spent together
Hanging out at that hotel in vegas
Chorus:
You say black I say white, You say go & I stop
But you're always right & I'm usually not
You're serious I'm silly, You're cold & I'm hot
You're quick & witty & I'm usually not
Can't you see... you're everything thing to me
You're careful I'm carefree, I don't know whats best for me
But you usually do
You say right & I go left, But what you do~ you do it the best
Thats why I fell in love with you
Chorus:
You say black I say white, you say go & I stop
But you're always right & I'm usually not
You're serious I'm silly, You're cold & I'm hot
You're quick & witty & I'm usually not
Can't you see... you're everything thing to me
Bridge:
& I like knowing you've got my back
Don't go changing something
I just like you like that!
(repeat chorus)
