Honey
Mariah Carey Ft Mase And The Lox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you want me
You simply ask me to be there
And you're the only one
Who makes me come running
'Cause what you got
Is far beyond compare
When your love comes over me
Oh, baby, I've got a dependency
Always strung out
For another taste of your honey
It's like honey when it washes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dying for ya
Crying for ya
I adore ya
One hit of your love affected me
And I'm strung out on you, darling
Don't you see
Every night and day I can hardly wait
For another taste of honey
Honey, I can't describe
How good it feels inside
Honey, I can't describe
How good it feels inside
Oh, I can't be elusive with you honey
'Cause it's blatant that I'm feeling you
And it's too hard for me to leave abruptly
You're the only thing I want to do
And it's just like honey
When your love comes over me
Oh, baby, I've got a dependency
Always strung out
For another taste of your honey
It's like honey when it washes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dying for ya
Crying for ya
I adore ya
One hit of your love addicted me
And I'm strung out on you, darling
Don't you see
Every night and day I can hardly wait
For another taste of honey
Harlem world we won't stop for Mariah, you're on fire
Harlem world we won't stop, so Mariah, take us higher
Harlem world we won't stop, for Mariah, you're on fire
Harlem world we won't stop, so Mariah, take us higher
Break it down
Every little thing you do
Now, what we gonna do right here
Is we gonna smooth it out
(Honey got me hooked on you)
MC, and she won't stop
It's like honey when it washes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dying for ya
Crying for ya
I adore ya
One hit of your love addicted me
And I'm strung out on you, darling
Don't you see
Every night and day I can hardly wait
For another taste of honey
It's like honey when it washes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dying for ya
Crying for ya
I adore ya
One hit of your love addicted me
And I'm strung out on you, darling
Don't you see
Every night and day I can hardly wait
For another taste of honey
It's like honey when it washes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dying for ya
Crying for ya
I adore ya
One hit of your love addicted me
And I'm strung out on you, darling
Don't you see
Every night and day I can hardly wait
For another taste of honey
The lyrics of "Honey" by Mariah Carey featuring Mase and The Lox deal with a love addiction. The song talks about the powerful effect that the object of her affection has on her. The lyrics suggest that her love interest has a hold over her, and she is totally dependent on him. She uses the metaphor of honey to describe the feeling she gets when he touches her or when she is around him. She says that his love is so sweet, just like honey, and she is constantly craving more of it. Mariah emphasizes that she is on the brink of addiction, and she is crying and dying for him because she can't get enough of him.
The song's chorus is particularly powerful and memorable, with Mariah singing "It's just like honey when your love comes over me/ Oh baby, I've got a dependency/ Always strung out for another taste of your honey." These lines are repeated throughout the song, underscoring the addictive quality of the love that she feels. She explains how hooked she is on his love, and there's no getting away from it. Mariah tries to describe how good it feels to be with him, but she's at a loss for words, "Honey, I can't describe/ How good it feels inside."
In summary, "Honey" is a song about the all-consuming nature of love and the way it can take hold of someone's life. The lyrics describe an addiction to the feeling of being with someone, using the metaphor of honey to paint a vivid picture of the intense, sweet sensation that love can bring.

Ariana literally built her whole career off of this music video. Don't try to tell me otherwise lmao. The hair, the sound, the dancing, the look. Well like they say it's easier to follow a path rather than pave your own.

@TweakLyon
Like it or not, Mariah contributed a lot to the culture of rnb / hip hop in her own unique way
@mermaidtingzzz
Ummm no one questions that surely. If they, do they clearly know nothing about Mariah or music!
@TweakLyon
@The Little Blerdmaid with them fire 🔥 adlibs, not to mention the chorus and hooks
@philipcohen958
And did. We never saw a whole gangsta rapper appear in the music video and live performances of a female pop song before Fantasy in 1995. Mariah was the trendsetter.
