{Intro} 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 {Verse 2} Although not the most honest means of travel It gets me there nonetheless I'm a heartless man at worst, baby And a helpless one at best {Chorus} Darling, I'll bathe your skin I'll even wash your clothes Give me some candy before I go Oh darling, I'll kiss your eyes And lay you down on the rug Just give me some candy after my hug {Verse 3} Oh, and I'm often false explaining But to her it plays out all the same Although I'm left defeated It gets held against my name
{Verse 4} 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 the diamond in the rough {Chorus} Darling, I'll bathe your skin I'll even wash your clothes Give me some candy before I go Oh darling, I'll kiss your eyes And lay you down on the rug Just give me some candy after my hug {Verse 5} I know that they're writings on the wall I'll bathe your skin I'll even wash your clothes 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 {Outro}
