Honey
Mariah Carey feat. Mase Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, now you can have me
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
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 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

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.

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 πŸ”₯ 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.
