[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Although not the most honest means of travel
It gets me there nonetheless
I'm a heartless man at worst, babe
And a worthless one at best

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
Oh now I'm often false explaining
But to her, it plans out all the same
And although I'm left defeated
It gets held against my name
[Verse 4]
I know you got plenty to offer, darling
But I guess I've taken quite enough
Well, I'm some stain here on your bed sheet
You're my diamond in the rough

[Chorus]
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
Lay you down on your rug
Just give me some candy after my hug

[VChorus]
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, darling, I'll kiss your eyes
And lay you down on your rug
Just give me some candy after my hug
[Bridge]
Oh, and I'll be here waiting for you
Oh, I'll be here waiting for you
Know that I'll be here waiting for you
Yes, I'll be here waiting for you
Yes, I'll be here waiting for you

[Outro]
All the cheap and the sugary philosophies
All they do is keep me waiting and waiting
All the angels and their halos
All they do is keep me waiting and waiting
