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 hug      Oh, and I'm often false 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, 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 hug, oh      I know that they're writings on the wall   But 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 hug      Oh, and 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      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 cutthroats and their jagged ends   All of them have got me waiting and waiting   (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      (Oh, I'll be there waiting for you)   All the angels and their halos   All they do is keep me waiting and waiting      (Oh, I'll be there waiting for you)   All the cutthroats and their jagged ends   All of them have got me waiting and waiting   (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      (Oh, I'll be there waiting for you)   All the angels and their halos   All they do is keep me waiting and waiting
