Honey
Katy B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know I can trust you somehow
Dreaming's got me wild
High on thoughts of you, won't come down
When you ask my name
Every word was gentle, had me
Down to play your game
Down to give my soul so gladly
What is on your mind?
Now you've got me here, make your move
Please, don't take your time (please, don't take your time)
All that talk, it's now time to prove
Darling, just lean in
I am sure you'll want to taste this
Honey on my skin (honey on my skin)
I'm sure you won't want to waste it
Taste it baby, taste it baby, oh oh
Taste it baby, taste it baby, oh oh
Kiss it baby, kiss it baby, oh oh
Kiss it baby, kiss it baby, oh oh
I can see your truth
I can see the life reflecting
This is overdue
Only 'cause you keep respecting
Everything I do
But to keep it real I'm ready
I'm ready for you
Take me to that state so heady
What is on your mind?
Now you've got me here, make your move
Please, don't take your time (please, don't take your time)
All that talk, it's now time to prove
Darling, just lean in
I am sure you'll want to taste this
Honey on my skin (honey on my skin)
I'm sure you won't want to waste it
Taste it baby, taste it baby, oh oh
Taste it baby, taste it baby, oh oh
Kiss it baby, kiss it baby, oh oh
Kiss it baby, kiss it baby, oh oh
Waiting for your kiss, red veinous lips
I bought this colour for you
On my lunch today I heard her say
Girl he'd be crazy not to
Maybe you're too shy, I wonder why
The air feels so suspended
I move closer in, let us begin
Or we will sure regret it
What is on your mind? (what is on your mind?)
Now you've got me here, make your move(now you've got me here, make your move)
Please, don't take your time (please, don't take your time)
All that talk, it's now time to prove
Darling just lean in (darling just lean in)
I am sure you'll want to taste this (you'll want to taste this baby)
Honey on my skin (honey on my skin, honey yeah)
I'm sure you won't want to waste it (you won't want to waste it)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah
Oh, baby
Oh, waiting for you to, to be here
Taste it, taste the honey baby
On my skin, yeah, eh, yeah

Something 'bout your vibe
There's something about the way you make me feel
I know I can trust you somehow
I feel safe and secure around you
Dreaming's got me wild
I can't stop thinking about you
High on thoughts of you, won't come down
You intoxicate me with your presence
When you ask my name
Your every word is gentle and kind
Every word was gentle, had me
You have a way of making me feel special
Down to play your game
I'm willing to go along with you
Down to give my soul so gladly
I'm willing to give all of myself to you
What is on your mind?
I'm curious about your intentions
Now you've got me here, make your move
Don't waste any more time, show me what you want
Please, don't take your time (please, don't take your time)
I want you to act on your desires quickly
All that talk, it's now time to prove
It's time to stop talking and start doing
Darling, just lean in
Come closer to me
I am sure you'll want to taste this
I'm confident that you'll enjoy the experience
Honey on my skin (honey on my skin)
The sweet taste of my skin

We've waited too long for this moment
Only 'cause you keep respecting
I love that you treat me with respect
Everything I do
You appreciate everything I do
But to keep it real I'm ready
I'm being honest with you, I'm ready
Take me to that state so heady
Take me to a place of intense pleasure
Waiting for your kiss, red veinous lips
I want to kiss your lips
I bought this colour for you
I chose this lipstick shade for you
On my lunch today I heard her say
Someone mentioned you today while I was out
Girl he'd be crazy not to
They said you'd be crazy not to be with me
Maybe you're too shy, I wonder why
I'm not sure why you haven't made a move yet
The air feels so suspended
There's tension between us
I move closer in, let us begin
I'm making a move towards you, let's start
Or we will sure regret it
If we don't act now, we'll regret it later
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Expressing pleasure, excitement, or anticipation
Yeah
Agreement or emphasis
Oh, baby
Affectionate term
Oh, waiting for you to, to be here
Anticipation for being with you
Taste it, taste the honey baby
Try the sweetness of my skin
On my skin, yeah, eh, yeah
The sweetness is on my skin
