Candy
Paolo Nutini (Cover By Jasmine Thompson) Lyrics

I was perched outside in the pouring rain
I was sitting outdoors in the heavy rain

Trying to make myself a sail
I was attempting to make a sail out of something

Then I'll float to you my darlin'
I will use the makeshift sail to reach my loved one

With the evening on my tail
It is becoming nighttime

Although not the most honest means of travel
Although it's not truthful, it is the only option

It gets me there nonetheless
It still gets me to my destination

I'm a heartless man at worst, babe
I can be cruel at times

And a helpless one at best
I can also be powerless

Darling I'll bathe your skin
I will wash your skin for you

I'll even wash your clothes
I will clean your clothes as well

Just give me some candy
I just want some sweets

Before I go
Before I leave

Oh, darling I'll kiss your eyes
I will kiss your eyes softly

And lay you down on your rug
I will gently lay you down on your carpet

Just give me some candy
Please give me sweets

After my heart
In exchange for my affection

Oh, and I'm often false explaining
I frequently lie and make excuses

But to her it plays out all the same
But she sees right through my stories

And although I'm left defeated
I often end up feeling defeated

It gets held against my name
My actions are used against me

I know you got plenty to offer baby
I know you have a lot to give

But I guess I've taken quite enough
But I feel like I have taken too much already

Well I'm some stain there on your bed sheet
I am like an unsightly mark on your bed linen

You're my diamond in the rough
You have some flaws, but I still treasure you

I know that there's writing on the wall
I am aware of the signs or signals that something is going wrong

But darling I'll bathe your skin
I will still wash your skin for you

I'll even wash your clothes
I will even take care of your laundry

Just give me some candy
Please give me sweets

After my heart
In exchange for my affection

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

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

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

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

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