Candy

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 you down on your rug
Just give me some candy
After my heart
Oh I´m often false explaining
But to her it plays out all the same
and although I´m left defeated
It get´s held against my name
I know you got plenty to offer 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 you down on your rug
Just give me some candy
After my heart
I know that there?re writings on the wall
But Darling I´ll bathe your skin
I´ll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy
After my heart
Oh I´ll be there waiting for you [repeat]
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 you down on your rug
Just give me some candy
After my heart
Oh I´m often false explaining
But to her it plays out all the same
and although I´m left defeated
It get´s held against my name
I know you got plenty to offer 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 you down on your rug
Just give me some candy
After my heart
I know that there?re writings on the wall
But Darling I´ll bathe your skin
I´ll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy
After my heart
Oh I´ll be there waiting for you [repeat]
