Delegation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I get lost, feel I've been crossed
She will be my salvation
When I feel low, I've nowhere to go
She'll be my inspiration
Yeah, when my poor heart is breakin' apart
She ain't the kind to show off her mind
But talkin' of love she's clever, yeah
Oh, honey (Oh, honey)
Oh, honey (Oh, honey)
She rarely spends time with her friends
Tells me she's blue without me
When things go wrong her faith is strong
I know she'll never doubt me
Yeah, when she arrives and stands by my side
Makes me so proud to know her
High-steppin' dames with high-soundin' names
There ain't nothin' they could show her, yeah
Oh, honey (My honey)
Oh, honey (Honey, honey)
Now I just wanna thank you, baby
For givin' me a brand new start
I was goin' down, you saved me
When you let me in your lovin' heart, yeah
Oh, honey (Talkin' 'bout you, honey)
Oh, honey (Honey)
Oh, honey (Beautiful honey)
Oh, honey (You make me feel so proud, so proud, baby)
Oh, honey (I'm proud of my baby, yeah)
Oh, honey
Delegation's "Oh Honey" is a love song that tells the story of a person who has found solace in the love and companionship of a significant other who stands by them through thick and thin. The opening lines of the song describe the feeling of being lost and betrayed but finds salvation in the love of another. This love is the inspiration that keeps them going, and when one's heart is breaking, this person has the ability to put it back together. The lyrics suggest that the person loves themself enough to surround themselves with someone who can reciprocate their love, support, and care.
The second verse describes the loyalty and dedication of this person, who seldom spends time with their friends and is at their best when the two of them are together. The singer is proud to have this person by their side and recognizes that there is nothing anyone could show them that this person hasn't shown them already. The final verse is a tribute to this person and their role in the singer's life. The singer expresses their gratitude and love, thanking their partner for saving them, and giving them a brand new start.
