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
—
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
—
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
——
Chorus
