Candy
Nutini Paolo Lyrics

I was perched outside in the pouring rain
I was standing outside in the rain.

Trying to make myself a sail
I was making myself makeshift transportation.

Then I'll float to you my darlin'
Then, I'll come to you, my love.

With the evening on my tail
I will come in the evening.

Although not the most honest means of travel
Although my transportation method may not be the most moral or honest.

It gets me there nonetheless
It brings me to you, regardless.

I'm a heartless man at worst, babe
I am possibly merciless as a person.

And a helpless one at best
Or perhaps, at the best of times, I am powerless.

Darling, I'll bathe your skin
My love, I will give you gentle touches.

I'll even wash your clothes
I will take care of your clothing.

Just give me some candy
Just give me a treat.

Before I go
Before I leave.

Oh, darling, I'll kiss your eyes
Oh, love, I will kiss your eyes.

And lay you down on your rug
And I will lay you on the floor mat.

Just give me some candy
Just give me a treat.

After my heart
After my love.

Oh, and I'm often false explaining
Oh, and I often explain things dishonestly.

But to her it plays out all the same
But to her, they sound good enough.

And although I'm left defeated
Even though I feel defeated.

It gets held against my name
My reputation is affected.

I know you got plenty to offer, baby
I know you have much to give, my love.

But I guess I've taken quite enough
But I have taken what I consider plenty.

Well, I'm some stain there on your bed sheet
Well, I am a mark on your sheet.

You're my diamond in the rough
You are my treasure amidst the dirt.

I know that there's writings on the wall
I know that there are signs to heed.

But darling I'll bathe your skin
But, my love, I will still give you gentle touches.

And lay you down on your rug
And put you on the floor mat.

Just give me some candy
Just give me a treat.

Before I go
Before I depart.

Oh, darling I'll kiss your eyes
Oh, my dear, I will kiss your eyes.

And lay you down on your rug
And put you on the floor mat.

Just give me some candy
Just give me a treat.

After my heart
After my love.

Oh and I'll be there waiting for you
Oh, and I will be waiting for you.

Know that I'll be there waiting for you
Know that I will be waiting for you.

Oh I'll be there waiting for you
Oh, I will be waiting for you.

I'll be there waiting for you
I will be waiting for you.

Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
Oh, I will be waiting for you.

Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
Oh, I will be waiting for you.

I'll be there waiting for you (all the cutthroats and their jagged ends)
I will be waiting for you amidst all the lawless and their harm.

(all of them have got me waiting and waiting)
(they have kept me waiting and waiting)

Oh, then I'll be there waiting on you (all the cheap and their sugary philosophies)
Oh, then I will be waiting for you amidst all the materialistic and their false beliefs.

(Have got me on the fence just waiting and waiting)
(they have made me indecisive, just waiting and waiting)

I'll be there waiting for you (all the angels and their halos)
I will be there waiting for you amidst all the good and their convictions.

I'll be there waiting for you (all of them have got me waiting and waiting)
I will be waiting amidst them all, still waiting.

I'll be there waiting for you (all the cutthroats and their jagged ends)
I will be waiting for you amidst all the lawless and their harm.

All of them have got me waiting and waiting
All of them have left me waiting and waiting.

I'll be there waiting for you (all the cheap and their sugary philosophies)
I will be waiting for you amidst all the materialistic and their fake beliefs.

Have got me on the fence just waiting and waiting
Have made me indecisive and left me waiting and waiting.

I'll be there waiting for you (all the angels and their halos)
I will be there waiting for you amidst all the good and their convictions.

All of they do is keep me waiting and waiting
All they do is keep me waiting and waiting.
