Honeysuckle Rose
HOPKINS CLAUDE Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every honey bee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me

Goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

When you're passin' by flowers droop and sigh,
And I know the reason why

Goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

Don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar
It's sweeter when you stir it up

When I'm taking sips from your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips

Goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

Goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

Don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar
It's sweeter when you stir it up

When I'm taking sips from your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips

Goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

Every honey bee fills with jealousy
Other women become envious when they see me walking with you

When they see you out with me
Whenever they notice us together

Certainly

You're my honeysuckle rose
You're the sweetest thing in my life
