The lyrics to Taj Mahal's song Queen Bee describe a sweet and adoring relationship between the singer and his lover. He compares her to a honeybee, saying that she is sweeter than one and that she has been "sweet on him" as well. The chorus repeats the idea that she "rocks him to his soul" and loves him just as deeply. The second verse describes her as a "strutter" who can dance and have fun, further emphasizing her lively personality. The bridge brings back the analogy of the honey pot, saying that there is honey in it and that it is hot, or desirable. Finally, the song ends with another repetition of the chorus and the final words "Queen Bee," referring to the woman he loves.
Overall, the lyrics of Queen Bee express a joyful and passionate love between two people. The use of the honeybee analogy and the repeated emphasis on the idea of rocking to the soul create a sense of intense emotional connection. The energetic dance references and the references to hot honey also evoke a sense of heat and sensuality. Ultimately, the song is an ode to the power of love to bring joy and fulfillment to one's life.
