I was perched outside in the pourin' rain,
tryin' 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,
an' 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,
an' lay you down on your rug.
Just give me some candy.
After my hug.

Oh, an' I'm often found explainin',
but the hurt 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.
While I'm some stain there on your bed sheet,
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,
an' lay you down on your rug.
Just give me some candy.
After my hug, oh, yeah...yeah....yeah........

I know that the writin's on the wall.

But darlin' I'll bathe your skin.
I'll even wash your clothes.
Just give me some candy.
After my hug.

Oh, and I'll be there waitin' for you.
Know that I'll be there waitin' for you.

Oh, I'll be there waitin' for you.
Oh, I'll be there waitin' for you.
Oh, I'll be there waitin' for you.

All the cheap an' your sugary philosophies.
Have got me on the fence just waitin' and waiting...yeah...
All the angels and their halos.
All they do is keep me waitin' and waitin'.
