Lyrics Candy Cane Withdrawal - Paris Street

'Candy Cane Withdrawal' is not on the CDC's
List of worst afflictions or most painful maladies
And you will not find it mentioned in the DSM-IV
All those diseases and neurosis hurt
But candy cane withdrawal hurts much more

I always get a sense of dread when Christmas time's complete
'Cause it won't be too long 'fore I miss out on my favorite treat
And I know they could still be found at any store by the boxful
For a substantial discount, but they'll soon be stale and awful

If waiting all day for a drink seems like a painful chore
Try waiting for eleven months
Candy cane withdrawal hurts much more

There is no other combination that can be more heaven sent
Than the perfect blend of sugar, corn syrup, and peppermint
And my girlfriend says I'm crazy but she doesn't understand
How the world seems so much better with a candy cane in hand

If my girlfriend left me know, then that would hurt for sure
But there are a lot of women out there
Candy cane withdrawal hurts much more

Some say it wouldn't be the same if candy canes were found
To be available for purchase, freshly-made all year round
They claim it's seasonal for a reason, but I would say they are by far
Better than marshmallow peeps, candy corn, and chocolate hearts

If the best things in life can't be had
Then what is life worth living for?
It hurts to be alone in my opinion
But candy cane withdrawal hurts much more
