"Candy-O" is the second studio album by the American rock band the Cars. It was released in 1979 on Elektra Records. Featuring the Top 20 hit "Let's Go" and the minor hit "It's All I Can Do", the album charted 15 places higher than its predecessor on the Billboard Hot 100. The album features cover art by pin-up artist Alberto Vargas.

なぜか日本ではあまり売れなかったニュー・ウェイヴ時代のカリスマ的バンド(ぼくもあまり気に入ってません)。これは全曲がリーダー的存在のリック・オケイセックにの作品による2作目。ちなみに、売り上げはデビュー作がダントツですが、チャート上はこの2作目と5作目がアルバム・チャート3位で最高位となっています。ジャケのイラストは1940年代と60年代を中心に活躍したイラストレーター、アルベルト・バルガスによる作品。すでに最晩年で、気の向いたときに少しイラストを描く程度だったといいます。

"It's All I Can Do"

one too many times
i fell over you
once in a shadow
i finally grew
and once in a night
i dreamed you were there
i cancelled my flight
from going nowhere
it's all i can do
to keep waiting for you
it's all i can do
one too many times
i twisted the gate
when i was crazy
i thought you were great
i kept my renditions
of you on the wall
where holiday romance
is nothing at all
you wait in the wing
like a saturday flirt
protecting the judge
you don't want to get hurt
once in a moment
it all comes to you
as soon as you get it
you want something new
