Honey
Shania Twain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was late for work and the boss got smart
My panty line shows, got a run in my hose
My hair went flat-man, I hate that
Just when I thought things couldn't get worse
I realized I forgot my purse
With all this stress, I must confess
This job ain't worth the pay
Can't wait 'til the end of the day
Honey, I'm on my way
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Honey, I'm home and I had a hard day
Pour me a cold one and oh, by the way
Rub my feet, gimme something to eat
Fix me up my favorite treat
Honey, I'm back, my head's killing me
I need to relax and watch TV
Get off the phone, give the dog a bone
Hey! Hey! Honey, I'm home!
I broke a nail opening the mail
I cursed out loud 'cause it hurt like hell
This job's a pain, it's so mundane
It sure don't stimulate my brain
This job ain't worth the pay
Can't wait 'til the end of the day
Honey, I'm on my way
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Honey, I'm home and I had a hard day
Pour me a cold one and oh, by the way
Rub my feet, gimme something to eat
Fix me up my favorite treat
Honey, I'm back, my head's killing me
I need to relax and watch TV
Get off the phone, give the dog a bone
Hey! Hey! Honey, I'm home!
Oh, rub my neck will you
Honey, I'm home and I had a hard day
Pour me a cold one and oh, by the way
Rub my feet, gimme something to eat
Fix me up my favorite treat
Honey, I'm back, my head's killing me
I need to relax and watch TV
Get off the phone, give the dog a bone
Hey! Hey! Honey, I'm home!
I'm home, that feels much better
The song "Honey I'm Home" by Shania Twain is a catchy tune about a working woman who is tired and stressed out after a long day of work. She complains in a humorous manner about her day, starting with her car not starting and her panty line showing. She forgets her purse and realizes that her day is probably worse than PMS. She then comes home, and after mentioning that she broke her nail while opening mail and her job is tedious, she asks her partner to pour her a cold drink, rub her feet, and prepare her favorite meal. She wants to relax by watching TV and have some alone time because her day has been tough enough.
The song shows how women have to deal with everyday annoyances and still go to work and perform. It also stresses how communication in a relationship is essential, and women need a break to relax and unwind after a long day. The lyrics are reminiscent of how women perform multiple roles in society, from being a working woman to a partner and a homemaker.
