Candy Lyrics

[00:15.06] I was perched outside in the pouring rain
[00:19.35] Trying to make myself a sail
[00:22.39] Then I'll float to you, my darlin'
[00:26.52] With the evening on my tail
[00:29.56] Although not the most honest means of travel
[00:34.08] It gets me there nonetheless
[00:37.45] I'm a heartless man at worst, babe
[00:41.76] And a helpless one at best
[00:44.80] Darling, I'll bathe your skin
[00:48.87] I'll even wash your clothes
[00:52.73] Just give me some candy before I go
[00:59.90] Oh, darling, I'll kiss your eyes
[01:04.07] And lay you down on your rug
[01:08.05] Just give me some candy after my hug
[01:15.72] Oh, and I'm often false explaining
[01:19.90] But to her, it plays out all the same
[01:23.55] And although I'm left defeated
[01:27.31] It gets held against my name
[01:31.07] I know you got plenty to offer, baby
[01:35.11] But I guess I've taken quite enough
[01:38.56] Well, I'm some stain there on your bedsheet
[01:42.38] You're my diamond in the rough
[01:46.49] Darling, I'll bathe your skin
[01:50.27] I'll even wash your clothes
[01:54.10] Just give me some candy before I go
[02:01.13] Oh, darling, I'll kiss your eyes
[02:05.51] And lay you down on your rug
[02:09.12] Just give me some candy after my hug
[02:18.86]
[02:40.88] I know that they're writings on the wall
[02:47.40] But darling, I'll bathe your skin
[02:51.75] I'll even wash your clothes
[02:55.55] Just give me some candy before I go
[03:02.45] Oh, darling, I'll kiss your eyes
[03:06.95] And lay you down on your rug
[03:10.78] Just give me some candy after my hug
[03:19.02] Oh, and I'll be there waiting for you
[03:25.92] You know that I'll be there waiting for you
[03:34.63] Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
[03:42.18] Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
[03:49.53] Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
[03:57.20] Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
[04:04.73] (Oh, I'll be there waiting for you)
[04:05.53] All the cutthroats and their jagged ends
[04:07.39] (Oh, I'll be there waiting for you)
[04:09.77] All of them have got me waiting and waiting
[04:12.76] (Oh, I'll be there waiting for you)
[04:13.59] All the cheap and the sugary philosophies
[04:17.33] Have got me on the fence just waiting and waiting
[04:20.87] (Oh, I'll be there waiting for you)
[04:21.57] All the angels and their halos
[04:25.06] All they do is keep me waiting and waiting
[04:27.93] (Oh, I'll be there waiting for you)
[04:29.05] All the cutthroats and their jagged ends
[04:33.14] All of them have got me waiting and waiting
[04:36.10] (I'll be there waiting for you)
[04:36.37] All the cheap and the sugary philosophies
[04:40.17] Have got me on the fence just waiting and waiting
[04:43.21] (Oh, I'll be there waiting for you)
[04:44.28] All the angels and their halos
[04:48.15] All they do is keep me waiting and waiting
[04:51.82]
