Candy

I was perched outside in the pouring rain Trying to make myself a sail Then I'll float to you, my darling With the evening on my tail Although not the most honest means of travel It gets me there nonetheless I'm a heartless man at worst, babe And a helpless one at best Darling, I'll bathe your skin I'll even wash your clothes Just give me some candy, before I go Oh, darling, I'll kiss your eyes And lay you down on your rug Just give me some candy After my hug Oh, and I'm often false-explaining But to her it plays out all the same And although I'm left defeated It gets held against my name I know you got plenty to offer, baby But I guess I've taken quite enough While I'm some stain there on your bed-sheet You're my diamond in the rough Darling, I'll bathe your skin I'll even wash your clothes Just give me some candy Before I go Oh, darling, I'll kiss your eyes And lay you down on your rug Just give me some candy After my hug I know that the writing's on the wall But, darling, I'll bathe your skin I'll even wash your clothes Just give me some candy Before I go Oh, darling, I'll kiss your eyes And lay you down on your rug Just give me some candy After my hug Oh, and I'll be there waiting for you And know that I'll be there waiting for you Oh, I'll be there waiting for you Oh, I'll be there waiting for you Oh, I'll be there waiting for you Oh, I'll be there waiting for you (Oh, I'll be there waiting for you) all the cutthroats and their jagged ends All of them have got me waiting and waiting (Oh, I'll be there waiting for you) all the cheap and the sugary philosophies Have got me on the fence just waiting and waiting (Oh, I'll be there waiting for you) all the angels and their halos All they do is keep me waiting and waiting (Oh, I'll be there waiting for you) all the cutthroats and their jagged ends All of them have got me waiting and waiting (Oh, I'll be there waiting for you) all the cheap and the sugary philosophies Have got me on the fence just waiting and waiting (Oh, I'll be there waiting for you) all the angels and their halos All they do is keep me waiting and waiting
