Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Be my little baby bumble bee
(Buzz around, buzz around
Keep a-buzzin' 'round)
Bring home all the honey, love, to me
(Little bee, little bee, little bee)
Let me spend the happy hours
Roving with you 'mongst the flow'rs
And when we get where no one else can see

(Cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up)
Be my little baby bumble bee
(Buzz around, buzz around
Keep a-buzzin' 'round)
We'll be just has happy as can be
(You and me, you and me, you and me)
Honey, keep a-buzzin', please
I've got a dozen cousin bees
But I want you to be my baby bumble bee

Be my little baby bumble bee
Bring home all the honey, love, to me
Let me spend the happy hours
Roving with you 'mongst the flow'rs
And when we get where no one else can see
(Cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up)
Be my little baby bumble bee
(Buzz around, buzz around
Keep a-buzzin' 'round)
We'll be just has happy as can be
(You and me, you and me, you and me)
Honey, keep a-buzzin', please
I've got a dozen cousin bees

But I want you to be my baby bumble bee
Buzz-buzz

Line by Line Meaning

Put yourself in my place, baby
I want you to imagine what it's like to be me in this situation

Try to understand the way I feel
I want you to empathize and feel what I'm feeling

Imagine the tables turned
Think about if you were in my shoes instead

And how I've yearned to have you back in my arms
I have been longing to hold you tightly once again

Wouldn't that be heaven, heaven?
Wouldn't it be absolutely perfect?

Remember it's my first affair
Please keep in mind that this is my first experience like this

Those moments that we knew so well
The memories we share of our time together

Deserve another try
Our love deserves a second chance

Two people with the same sweet memories
We both share the same fond remembrances of our past together

Shouldn't let love go by
We should not let this opportunity to rekindle our love pass us by

Then you'll really know how much I care
If you can understand my perspective, you will see just how much I truly love and care for you
