Candy Lyrics

[00:14.70] I was perched outside in the pouring rain
[00:19.18] Trying to make myself a sail
[00:22.14] Then I'll float to you, my darlin'
[00:26.29] With the evening on my tail
[00:29.53] Although not the most honest means of travel
[00:33.88] It gets me there nonetheless
[00:37.51] I'm a heartless man at worst, babe
[00:41.96] And a helpless one at best
[00:45.05] Darling, I'll bathe your skin
[00:48.96] I'll even wash your clothes
[00:52.62] Just give me some candy before I go
[00:59.85] Oh darling, I'll kiss your eyes
[01:04.43] And lay you down on your rug
[01:08.02] Just give me some candy after my hug
[01:16.05] Oh, and I'm often false explaining
[01:20.00] But to her it plays out all the same
[01:23.40] And although I'm left defeated
[01:27.41] It gets held against my name
[01:31.12] I know you got plenty to offer, baby
[01:35.23] But I guess I've taken quite enough
[01:38.69] Well, I'm some stain there on your bed sheet
[01:42.78] You're my diamond in the rough
[01:46.37] Darling, I'll bathe your skin,
[01:50.35] I'll even wash your clothes
[01:53.90] Just give me some candy before I go
[02:01.33] Oh darling, I'll kiss your eyes
[02:05.64] And lay you down on your rug
[02:09.46] Just give me some candy after my hug
[02:18.61]
[02:40.99] I know that they're writings on the wall
[02:47.78] But darling, I'll bathe your skin
[02:51.70] I'll even wash your clothes
[02:55.39] Just give me some candy before I go
[03:02.46] Oh darling, I'll kiss your eyes
[03:06.84] And lay you down on your rug
[03:10.49] Just give me some candy after my hug
[03:19.89] Oh, and I'll be there waiting for you
[03:26.43] Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
[03:34.00] Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
[03:41.66] Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
[03:49.19] Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
[03:56.77] Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
[04:05.69] All the cutthroats and their jagged ends
[04:09.44] All of them have got me waiting and waiting
[04:13.40] All the cheap and the sugary philosophies
[04:17.12] Have got me on the fence just waiting and waiting
[04:21.29] All the angels and their halos
[04:24.91] All they do is keep me waiting and waiting
[04:28.83] All the cutthroats and their jagged ends
[04:32.70] All of them have got me waiting and waiting
[04:36.53] All the cheap and the sugary philosophies
[04:40.05] Have got me on the fence just waiting and waiting
[04:44.00] All the angels and their halos
[04:47.92] All they do is keep me waiting and waiting
[04:52.20]
