Marina & The Diamonds - Candy Lyrics






I was perched outside in the pouring rain
Trying to make myself a sail
Then I'll float to you my darling
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 hug

Oh 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
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 hug

I know that the writing's on the wall
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'll be there waiting for you
Oh and I'll be there waiting for you
And I'll be there waiting for you
I'll be there waiting for you
Oh

  25. I.... F....

    whats the meaning of this song anyway?whats the meaning of 'candy'?i've been thinking and i still cant figure it out...

    I.... F....

    Imorre Flora I think it's about a man who is about to leave his wife after being unfaithful, because the lyrics use both "you" and "her", and it also mentions nights out and lack of honesty. He says it wasn't her fault and she was great and wants a last night with her before leaving.

    I.... F....

    Sex duh

  26. t.... b....

    R.... ....

  34. b.... b....

    the lyrics are sooooo lana del rey

    b.... b....

    Soaked In Bleach they're actually so Paolo Nutini

    b.... b....

    v.... ....

    +Spooky Marina i'd have said electra heart, maybe between the two eras.

    v.... ....

    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 baby
    But I guess I've taken quite enough
    Well I'm some stain there on your bedsheet
    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

    I know that there´re writings on the wall
    But Darling I'll bathe your skin
    I'll even wash your clothes
    Just give me some candy
    After my heart

    Oh I'll be there waiting for you (repeat)

    l.... ....

    @Carlos Quijada Hug??? not heart??? Hug makes more sense???

    l.... ....

    +Coffee Cat Gaming Depends on the point of view, or how you see it. If it's "after my heart" it'd make sense, as it would be talking about how she "gave her heart" on everything she did, but if it was "after my hug" it could be about how she "embraced" this person she's talking about. I personally don't really understand the meaning of this song so I can't really say anything.

    l.... ....

    It's hug. if you listen closely you can hear a 'gug' sound

  42. L.... C....

    *goosebumps*

  43. J.... ....

    This is not by marina, this is by Paul Nutini, this is a cover.

    J.... ....

    she never said it belonged to her...

    J.... ....

    Paolo Nutini*

    J.... ....

    +JJellyBellyBeans lmao she never said it was hers...

    J.... ....

    +Lee Loftus to put it in perspective, if someone did not know who the original singer was, and happened to come across this video, that person would assume this was a song by Marina. The person who uploaded this did not mention in the description that this is a cover, nor in the title.

    J.... ....

    It’s BY whoever’s singing it. The lyrics aren’t hers, but this recording is.

  44. A.... V....

    I can't with this :'( 
    I'm shattered

  45. M.... T....

    I can't find any lyric videos for this! DX

    M.... T....

    Search Candy - Paolo Nutini.
    This is a cover.

  46. s.... j....

    there's a new snippet too, it''s called FROOT and it's up on her IG!

    s.... j....

    this made me feel weird in 2019

    s.... j....

    Woah...

    s.... j....

    s.... j....

    Marina currently returned from her break and has a new album called "Love + Fear."

    s.... j....
