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 down on your rug Just give me some candy after my hug
Though I'm often found 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 me, 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 down on your rug Just give me some candy after my hug
Darling, I'll bathe your skin, I'll even wash your clothes Just give me some candy before I go
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 cheap and the sugary philosophies Have got me on the fence just waiting and waiting
All the angels and their halos All of them have got me waiting and waiting
