I think this is a song a lot of romantic men can relate to- the disillusionment after jilted teenage love. The singer tells about how he gave his love everything and would do anything for her, and she took it all. He, like so many young men, wrongly believed that by satisfying everyone of his love's desires that he would secure her love and devotion. Paradoxically, the satiation often leaves young women unaffected and eager for something else: Enter the man with the Candy Castle.
The candy castle is just a metaphor for whatever enticed Sweet sixteen, which was probably the advances of some other dude. No one wants everything given to them.It makes life boring and empty. In this state, our sweet sixteen was suceptible to anything new and alluring. (the little hussy)
Everyone enjoys a bit of a challenge.Young men (women too) need to bridle their passion if they want love to last. You need to always hold something back to keep the flame alive.
Afterall, if as children we got all the candy we ever wanted, it wouldn't be "candy" now would it?
