Candy

I was perched outside in the pouring rain

Trying to make myself a sail

Then I'll float to you, my darlin'

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

Well, 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, oh



I know that they're writings 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

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



(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
