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

‘Cause 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´ve tried and tried explaining
But to her it plays out all the same
When no matter what I give her

It gets held against my name

I wouldn´t change nothing about you baby
But I guess I´ve taken quite enough
‘Cause I´m that stain there on your bedsheet
You´re the diamond in my 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
Lay you down on your rug
But give me some candy
After my hug (2x)

Oh, and I´ll be there waiting for you

Oh, I´ll be there waiting for you
I´ll be there waiting for you
Oh, I´ll be there waiting for you
Oh, I´ll be there waiting for you
Oh, then I´ll be there waiting for you
I´ll be there waiting for you
Oh, then I´ll be there waiting on you
I´ll be there waiting for you
I´ll be there waiting for you
