  • She cuts her hair
    And calls his name
    Wishin' everything could be the same
    Like when she had him

    I'll give you fish
    I'll give you candy
    I'll give you everything I have in my hand

    Walking out of Korvettes
    Package in her hand
    Motions to all the seabirds
    Throws divinity on the sand

    I'll give you fish
    I'll give you candy
    I'll give you everything I have in my hand

    Give me, give back my man
    Give me, give back my man

    Head's in a whirlpool
    Spinnin' 'round and 'round
    If she don't get her man back
    She's gonna drown

    I'll give you fish
    I'll give you candy
    I'll give you everything I have in my hand

    Give her, give back her man (I'll give you fish, I'll give you candy)
    (I'll give you everything I have in my hand) oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh

    I'll give you fish (oh)
    I'll give you candy (oh, whoa, oh, oh)
    I'll give you everything I have in my hand (oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa)

    I'll give you fish
    I'll give you candy
    I'll give you everything I have in my hand Writer/s: Cindy Wilson, Cynthia Wilson, Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson, Keith Strickland, Ricky Wilson, Robert Waldrop

  • Wkb123 from UsaIt’s a euphemism filled song. Boyfriend left and she’s offering herself in an uninhibited state to get him back. Fish is lady bits, candy is oral and everything in my hand is well, lending a hand.
    No sharks, no one died.
  • John P from Los AngelesThe video for this song is absolute magic. And the B52s drummer looks just like Tom Brady!!
  • Moosehead from ScStill my favorite of theirs.
