"Taffy" is a song written and sung by Lisa Loeb. The song was recorded in 1995. It is featured on her album Tails, and her 2006 album The Very Best of Lisa Loeb.

It is about a boyfriend who always lies, making the lyric "Sometimes you tell the truth like you're pulling taffy" understandable (except to those who have no idea what taffy is or what pulling it entails, and who despite looking up this song on Wikipedia in order to try and understand the lyric, remain entirely unenlightened). The expression is saying that he likes to stretch the truth, which is basically lying.

Although the song was not a very successful single, it was moderately successful on radio.

The song charted in the New Zealand RIANZ Top 40 at # 39
