Lyrics[]
I was perched outside in the pouring rain
Trying to make myself a sail
Then I 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
Darlin', I'll bathe your skin
I'll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy before I go
Oh darlin', I'll kiss your eyes
And lay you down on your rug
Just give me some candy after my hug
Oh, 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
I'm some stain there on your bedsheet
You're my diamond in the rough
Darlin', I'll bathe your skin
I'll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy before I go
Oh darlin', I'll kiss your eyes
And lay you down on your rug
Just give me some candy after my hug
I know that the writings on the wall
Darlin', I'll bathe your skin
I'll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy before I go
Oh darlin', 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, and I'll be there waiting for you
And I'll be there waiting for you
I'll be there waiting for you, oh-ooh-ooh
