Let's go
Oh, now you can have me
When you want me
You simply ask me to be there (uh huh)
And you're the only one
Who makes me come running
'Cause what you got
Is far beyond compare, ooh
And it's just like honey (yeah)
When your love (when your love) comes over me (comes over me)
Oh, baby, I've got a dependency
Always strung out
For another taste of your honey (ooh)
It's like honey when it washes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dying for ya
Crying for ya (crying)
I adore ya
One hit of your love affected me (yeah)
And I'm strung out on you, darling
Don't you see (every night)
Every night and day I can hardly wait
For another taste of honey (honey)
Honey, I can't describe
How good it feels inside (ooh, honey)
Honey, I can't describe
How good it feels inside
Oh, I can't be elusive with you honey (I like that)
'Cause it's blatant that I'm feeling you (yeah)
And it's too hard for me to leave abruptly
'Cause you're the only thing I wanna do
And it's just like honey
When your love (when your love) comes over me (comes over me)
Oh, baby, I've got a dependency (so addicted to ya, honey)
Always strung out
For another taste of your honey (honey)
It's like honey when it washes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dying for ya
Crying for ya
I adore ya
One hit of your love addicted me (I need you babe)
And I'm strung out on you, darling (ooh, your love addicted me)
Don't you see (I can't wait)
Every night and day I can hardly wait (for another)
For another taste of honey (Baby, I can hardly wait)
Harlem world we won't stop for Mariah, you're on fire
Harlem world we won't stop, so Mariah, take us higher
Harlem world we won't stop, for Mariah, you're on fire
Harlem world we won't stop, so Mariah, take us higher

Mariah Carey was a supermodel in the 1990s. She dominated music and fashion. Girls copied her looks in 90s, as Madonna had in 1980s.
@fruitdemer201
Hardy she has the perfect legs but her face is not model standard
@AngelHoll-pr8fz
Agreed
@drunkydrunk2351
YESSS
@Inaworldoflove
Madonna didnโt copy her look in the 80s, what you talking about?
@popland1977
She consistently brought the pop/hip-hop collaboration to the mainstream to create a blue print in chart music that is still being used today. She changed the prominent vocal styling of the time by bringing back runs and rifts in a move that has arguably inspired everyone from Beyonce to Ariana Grande. She dominated the 90s with a constant churning out of chart toppers that includes the longest running #1 in American chart history and she co-wrote 17 of her record breaking #18 hits. If that wasn't enough, she also penned a Christmas song that has now become a holiday classic and has only grown in popularity over the last 20+ years. Combine that with her virtuistic level of musical interpretive wit, vocal agility, range, interpretive skills and technique, you're looking at a woman who belongs to a class reserved for very few. Often duplicated, never imitated, with over 200 million records sold worldwide, bow down for the iconic Mariah Carey!
@alanfox2155
You put up a good solid argument and I can't fault it and disagree with that.
