(Your love makes me feel like )
(The delight of candy coated sweet taste)
Yeah, baby
I'm singin' I felt in love
Like a candy coated flavor
That you are making me taste
In my mouth and my soul, baby
And there's nothing you can do now
Girl, I know how to make you eat it
It feels so good
It has been all night long, yeah
It feels so good
It feels so good the candy coated love
Baby, let me talk to you
Spring, summer, autumn and winter
Don't tell me how money that you have I want to spend
You know that's right, baby
Don't go away, you' ve got an intense taste sweet, too
You're my candy coated lover
I desire and I need you
But I've been tellin' you
I've been candy coated
You got my mind made up
You break my heart and wreck my soul
So surprending your intense taste can be
Hurry up, give me help
I'm waiting for you to come to rescue me
Everybody sing!
I can feel it in my heart
I don't ever want to hurt your love
Every dream comes true, baby do what I do
There will never ever be another girl like you
Every dream comes true, baby do what you do
There will never ever be another girl like me
Every dream comes true, baby do what I do
There will never ever be another guy like you
You make me scream and shout
Your candy coated love is sweeter than honey
Don't say I don't mind
When everything ain't gettin' funny
Why do you treat me so bad?
Because I'm sweeter than honey
You're my candy coated lover
I can feel it in my heart
I don't ever want to hurt your love
Every dream comes true, baby do what I do
There will never ever be another girl like you
Every dream comes true, baby do what you do
There will never ever be another girl like me
Every dream comes true, baby do what I do
There will never ever be another guy like you
Candy coated lover melody, baby
Baby, you're sweeter than honey
Didn't you ever taste the candy coated love?
There will never ever be another girl like you
There will never ever be another girl like you

Bootsy Collins (born William Earl Collins in Cincinnati, Ohio, on October 26, 1951) is a singer-songwriter and guitar player known as one of the pillars of the funk sound in his work with James Brown and George Clinton. His nickname was given to him by his mother, who told him, “You looked like Bootsy.”

Along with his brother Phelps “Catfish” Collins, Bootsy joined James Brown’s backing band, The J.B.’s, in the early 1970s and played on a number of Brown’s hits, including “Super Bad”, “Soul Power”, and “Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine” among others. After nearly a year, Collins left Brown’s band and connected with George Clinton and his Parliament Funkadelic P-Funk movement in 1972. During his run with the group, Bootsy also branched off to produce solo work with Bootsy’s Rubber Band.

Bootsy was also instrumental in the career of electro-funk legend Roger Troutman and his group Zapp in the early 1980s. Bootsy’s work also became a major sample source by a number of hip-hop stars, and his style was a big inspiration to Snoop Dogg a.k.a. Snoopy Collins. His signature vocals were featured in Grand Theft Auto V as the DJ for radio station Space 103.2, as well as featured on the 2018 hit “After the Storm” with Kali Uchis. As a member of Parliament Funkadelic, Bootsy Collins was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.
