Tony Orlando & Dawn - She Can't Hold A Candle To You lyrics

She can't hold a candle to you I don't want to hurt her But baby it's true I thought that I loved her But I guess I was wrong I ain't gonna string her along She's pretty as a picture And sweeter than a song And any other man would love her so She puts her little arms around me Cute as anyone I know Now, I don't want to hurt her Break her little heart And I don't want to give the kid aloan She's all dressed up to go dancing But I don't feel like romancing Oh she tried to light a fire But now it's turning blue Cause she can't hold a candle to you Met you on a Friday On 42nd street As I was out there shopping for rings I got a look at you and baby My little heart began to sing I knew that I had loved her Since time began to tick And in the nick of time you came along Now for me comes the hard part Cause I can't marry my sweetheart Oh she tried to light a fire But now it's turning blue Cause she can't hold a candle to you She can't hold a candle to you
