I'm Not Your Candy!

[Intro: It starts with a synthesizer pulse, followed by the vocal effects of "Yeah!" and "Ooooh!"] I'm not your candy, get that straight from me! No fragile crumb, I build myself, you see! You'll never own me, not in dream or love, I'm a free bird, flying high above! [Verse 1] Nights grow longer, lights ignite with glee, All my thoughts are of you, no one else for me! My heart I've never given, understand this plea, Don't think I'm someone's, I belong to no one, I! You think it's easy, love, you chase me like a dart, But my love is fire, burning all apart. Be my friend? Forget it, playing that role's too hard, My destiny's my own, I live by my own card! [Chorus] I'm not your candy, get that straight from me! No fragile crumb, I build myself, you see! You'll never own me, not in dream or love, I'm a free bird, flying high above! [Verse 2] You lure me with your gaze, with sweet talk tie me down, Reach your hand out, laughing, thinking you'll wear the crown. But you're mistaken, oh, how you're misled, My path is different, and I'm bored of what you've said. Like on a stage I stand, with spotlights on my face, Dancing with life, in this beautiful embrace. Everyone wants something, waiting for my grace, But I belong to myself, not yours, nor anyone's place! [Chorus] I'm not your candy, get that straight from me! No fragile crumb, I build myself, you see! You'll never own me, not in dream or love, I'm a free bird, flying high above! [Verse 3] You try to shine so bright, you dress up just for me, Each night's the morning, the same old fantasy. Lips whisper "you are mine" - oh yes, you say it free, But the rules of this game are mine, so bleed in silence, silently! You're sad alone, you mourn, why this must be, But playing with you is easy - yes, that's my choice, you see! In the mirror, I see me, my closest company, Besides myself, I love no one, my heart is set on liberty, yes, it's me! [Chorus] I'm not your candy, get that straight from me! No fragile crumb, I build myself, you see! You'll never own me, not in dream or love, I'm a free bird, flying high above! [Bridge / Middle 8: The tempo slows down a bit, synthesizer arpeggios come to the fore, and a more emotional atmosphere appears. Ad-libs.] Who's this egoist, this arrogant soul I see? It's me! My only master, it's only me! I'm no one's, and I'm not a slave, dependent on nobody, Sometimes storms rage inside me, I lose my place, it's odd. But still, I live for me, this is my destiny's road, In every step, my stance, in every word, the truth is told. Don't think, don't be deceived, that you can take control, I'm a star, and I shine only for myself, making my spirit whole! [Final Chorus: The tempo accelerates again, the eurodisco rhythm returns, with vocal effects. Full Energy! Ad-libs.] I'm not your candy, get that straight from me! No fragile crumb, I build myself, you see! You'll never own me, not in dream or love, I'm a free bird, flying high above! Don't hide your hopes, I beg you, in your eyes so fair, Your efforts are in vain, there's nothing from me you can share! Perhaps one day you'll know who I am, what is the affair, But till then, my fairy world will burn you beyond repair! [Outro: Ad-libs.] Oh-oh-oh, I'm not your candy! Get it straight! [A synthesizer solo begins and slowly fades out.] I'm nobody's, I'm for myself! Accept your fate! [The rhythm slows down and the music stops.] Yeah!
