Candy - Jasmine Thompson

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

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 heart

Oh I’m often false explaining

But to her it plays out all the same

And although I’m left defeated

It get’s held against my name

I know you got plenty to offer me 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

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 heart

Darling I’ll bathe your skin

I’ll even wash your clothes

Just give me some candy, before I go

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

All the cheap and the sugary philosophies

Have got me on the fence just waiting and waiting

All the angels and their halos

All of them have got me waiting and waiting
