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 heart

Oh I'm often false
explaining
But to her it plays out
all the same
and although
I'm left defeated
It get's 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 bedsheet
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 heart

I know that there're
writings on the wall
But Darling
I'll bathe your skin
I'll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy
After my heart

Oh I'll be there waiting
for you (repeat)
