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 down on your rug
Just give me some candy after my hug


Though I'm often found explaining
But to her it plays out all the same
And although I'm left defeated
It gets held against my name


I know you got plenty to offer me, 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 down on your rug
Just give me some candy after my hug


Darling, I'll bathe your skin, I'll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy before I go


Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
Oh, I'll be there waiting for you


All the cheap and the sugary philosophies
Have got me on the fence just waiting and waiting


All the angels and their halos
All of them have got me waiting and waiting
