I was perched outside in the pouring rain
Trying to make myself a sailThen I'll float to you, my darlin'With the evening on my tail
Although not the most honest means of travelIt gets me there nonethelessI'm a heartless man at worst, babeAnd a helpless one at best
Darling, I'll bathe your skin, I'll even wash your clothesJust give me some candy before I goOh darling, I'll kiss your eyes and lay you down on your rugJust give me some candy after my hug
Oh, and I'm often false explainingBut to her it plays out all the sameAnd although I'm left defeatedIt gets held against my name
I know you got plenty to offer, babyBut I guess I've taken quite enoughWell, I'm some stain there on your bed sheetYou're my diamond in the rough
Darling, I'll bathe your skin, I'll even wash your clothesJust give me some candy before I goOh darling, I'll kiss your eyes and lay you down on your rugJust give me some candy after my hug, oh
I know that they're writings on the wallBut darling, I'll bathe your skin, I'll even wash your clothesJust give me some candy before I goOh darling, I'll kiss your eyes and lay you down on your rugJust give me some candy after my hug
Oh, and I'll be there waiting for youOh, I'll be there waiting for youOh, I'll be there waiting for youOh, I'll be there waiting for you
Oh, I'll be there waiting for youOh, I'll be there waiting for you
(Oh, I'll be there waiting for you)All the cutthroats and their jagged endsAll of them have got me waiting and waiting(Oh, I'll be there waiting for you)All the cheap and the sugary philosophiesHave got me on the fence just waiting and waiting
(Oh, I'll be there waiting for you)All the angels and their halosAll they do is keep me waiting and waiting
(Oh, I'll be there waiting for you)All the cutthroats and their jagged endsAll of them have got me waiting and waiting(Oh, I'll be there waiting for you)All the cheap and the sugary philosophiesHave got me on the fence just waiting and waiting
(Oh, I'll be there waiting for you)All the angels and their halosAll they do is keep me waiting and waiting
