The lyrics to 倖田來未's song キューティーハニー describe the feelings of a girl who is caught off guard by the attention of a popular and attractive person, referred to as "Honey". The girl describes herself as a small girl with a tiny behind, and a "kitten-like" skin. She is nervous and anxious when Honey looks her way, as her heart beats uncontrollably, making her feel uneasy. She asks Honey not to hurt her fragile heart, as she is not used to this attention.
The girl then proceeds to ask Honey not to come any closer, as her nose twitches and she feels uncomfortable being stared at. She repeats that she does not want to be looked at, as her heart beats faster and she gets even more nervous. The song ends with the girl requesting that Honey not chase her, as she gets teary-eyed and distressed when he looks at her. Overall, the lyrics speak to the insecurities and fragility of young girls when faced with the attention of someone they admire.
