[Verse 1]
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, babe
And a helpless one at best

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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


[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 my diamond in the rough

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 5]
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

[Bridge]
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


[Outro]
(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
