It’s from the 80’s, and the key aspect to the chorus that I can remember is:

"I’ll give you candy,  
give you diamonds,  
give you pills

I’ll give you anything you want,  
hundred dollar bills."

Anyone know the band, song, and album name?

I think Buckcherry just covered it. The original was by Dramarama.
