Honey Bee
Bears The Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Honeybee, don't look at me that way
Honeybee, don't look at me that way
I've got plans,
I'm workin' on being a holy man

Honeybee, don't come so close to me
Honeybee, don't come so close to me
An' watch your hands,
You can't put a hold on a family man

Hang on tight
Through another lonely night

Honeybee, you don't look so good to me
Honeybee, you don't look so good to me




I've got plans,
I'm workin' on being a holy man

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bears The's song Honey Bee appear to be a warning to someone who is interested in the singer romantically. The singer refers to the woman as a honey bee, and urges her not to look at him in a certain way or come too close to him. He mentions that he's working on being a holy man, which could imply that he's trying to remain faithful to his partner or to a higher power. He also warns her to watch her hands and reminds her that he's a family man, indicating that he is committed to his family and is not interested in pursuing anything with her.


The line "Hang on tight / Through another lonely night" has an interesting contrast to it, as it suggests both vulnerability and strength. The singer seems to be addressing himself or his partner here, encouraging them to hold on during tough times while also acknowledging their struggle. The repetition of the line "I've got plans, I'm working on being a holy man" further emphasizes the singer's commitment to his faith and personal growth.
