Candlelighter Man

I lie awake and wait for him to arrive; candle lighter man
He is the one who keeps my heart alive; he is the candle lighter man
Woman in the city with a man to call my own
I’m never gonna leave home; I’m never gonna leave home

I’m feelin’ happy nearly every night; he’s the candle lighter man
I’m feelin’ good, now I’m feelin’ right; he is the candle lighter man
Woman in the city with a man to call my own
I’m never gonna leave home; I’m never gonna leave home

When he is away I just burn the candle through the day
Read the funnies and make the bed, light a number

And there is one thing that you oughta’ know; he is the candle lighter man
Just keep on loving and your light will grow; he is the candle lighter man
And he is oh, so voh-dee-oh-doh never leads my heart about
When he says ohhhhh, blow the candles out

Woman, I’m a woman…in the city with a man to call my own
I’m never gonna leave home; I’m never gonna leave home
I’m never gonna leave home; I’m never gonna leave home
