Candy Lyrics

[00:16.36] I was perched outside in the pouring rain
[00:20.55] Trying to make myself a sail
[00:23.54] Then I'll float to you, my darlin'
[00:27.70] With the evening on my tail
[00:31.06] Although not the most honest means of travel
[00:35.21] It gets me there nonetheless
[00:38.77] I'm a heartless man at worst, babe
[00:42.93] And a helpless one at best
[00:46.18] Darling, I'll bathe your skin
[00:50.11] I'll even wash your clothes
[00:53.94] Just give me some candy before I go
[01:01.12] Oh darling, I'll kiss your eyes
[01:05.31] And lay you down on your rug
[01:09.36] Just give me some candy after my hug
[01:17.06] Oh, and I'm often false explaining
[01:21.25] But to her it plays out all the same
[01:24.81] And although I'm left defeated
[01:28.57] It gets held against my name
[01:32.22] I know you got plenty to offer, baby
[01:36.39] But I guess I've taken quite enough
[01:39.83] Well, I'm some stain there on your bed sheet
[01:43.62] You're my diamond in the rough
[01:47.67] Darling, I'll bathe your skin,
[01:51.59] I'll even wash your clothes
[01:55.40] Just give me some candy before I go
[02:02.41] Oh darling, I'll kiss your eyes
[02:06.82] And lay you down on your rug
[02:10.52] Just give me some candy after my hug
[02:18.62]
[02:42.00] I know that they're writings on the wall
[02:48.69] But darling, I'll bathe your skin
[02:53.06] I'll even wash your clothes
[02:56.76] Just give me some candy before I go
[03:03.64] Oh darling, I'll kiss your eyes
[03:08.11] And lay you down on your rug
[03:12.07] Just give me some candy after my hug
[03:20.21] Oh, and I'll be there waiting for you
[03:27.42] Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
[03:35.84] Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
[03:43.34] Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
[03:50.81] Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
[03:58.45] Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
[04:06.88] All the cutthroats and their jagged ends
[04:11.23] All of them have got me waiting and waiting
[04:14.76] All the cheap and the sugary philosophies
[04:18.65] Have got me on the fence just waiting and waiting
[04:22.49] All the angels and their halos
[04:26.33] All they do is keep me waiting and waiting
[04:30.27] All the cutthroats and their jagged ends
[04:34.47] All of them have got me waiting and waiting
[04:37.55] All the cheap and the sugary philosophies
[04:41.46] Have got me on the fence just waiting and waiting
[04:45.40] All the angels and their halos
[04:49.37] All they do is keep me waiting and waiting
[04:53.03]
