"Candy's Room" is, perhaps (these things change all the time), my very favorite Bruce Springsteen song.
[More:]
It gives me chills. Sure, so do "Jungleland" and the part in "Spirit in the Night" where Hazy Davy gets really hurt, but this one's about love's mystery ("Bruce lag in Liebesbanden"), not teenage death, and it sneaks in, hi-hat padding up the night stairs into the lover's room, through the window, and over the stars beneath.

Also the guitar riff prefigures "Born in the USA." Listen to that cutting lead guitar (played by the Boss himself) -- neee, nee-nee-neer neer / neee, nee-nee-neer neer... -- but there's no shame in ripping off your own song, just ask Smokey.
I agree that this is a great song - love the way it steps up on "and we kiss" and then totally explodes on "Baby if you want to be wild--"

One of the best songs to go running to, ever. Intensity!

I like the way he whispers "What... She... Wants... Is... ME!"

Man takes his lunch, walks out in the morning light,
It's the working, the working, just the working life.

Through an open window, I can hear the sound of a flute .. || Look yo, it's a bunch of old food
