[Intro]

     


[Verse 1]

      
I was perched 

outside in the

 pouring rain

Trying to make

 myself a sail
          
Then I'll floa

t to you my da

rlin'
         
With the eveni

ng on my tail
              
Although not t

   
he most honest

 means of trav

el
   
It gets me the

re nonetheless
      
I'm a heartles

s man at worst

, babe
      
And a helpless

 one at best


[Chorus]

              
Darling, I'll 


bathe your ski

n
          
I'll even wash

 your clothes
             
Just give me s

              
ome candy, bef

     
ore I go
              
Oh darling, I'

   
ll kiss your e

yes
              
And lay you do

   
wn on your rug
             
Just give me s

ome candy
        
After my hug


[Verse 2]

           
Oh, and I'm of

ten false expl

aining

But to her it 

plays out all 

the same
          
and although I

'm left defeat

ed
        
It gets held a

gainst my name
              
I know you got

   
 plenty to off

But I guess I'
