Honey
The Sweets Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Honey honey, how you thrill me, a-ha, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, a-ha, honey honey
I'd heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine
Oh, you make me dizzy
Honey honey, let me feel it, a-ha, honey honey
Honey honey, don't conceal it, a-ha, honey honey
The way that you kiss good night
The way that you hold me tight
I feel like I wanna sing when you do your thing
I don't wanna hurt you baby, I don't wanna see you cry
So stay on the ground girl, you better not get too high
But I'm gonna stick to you boy, you'll never get rid of me
There's no other place in this world where I rather would be
Honey honey, touch me baby, a-ha, honey honey
Honey honey, hold me baby, a-ha, honey honey
You look like a movie star (look like a movie star)
But I know just who you are (I wonder just who you are)
And honey, to say the least, you're a doggone beast
So stay on the ground girl, you better not get too high

There's no other place in this world where I rather would be
Honey honey, how you thrill me, a-ha, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, a-ha, honey honey
I'd heard about you before (I'd heard about you before)




I wanted to know some more (I wanted to know you some more)
And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine Oh, you make me dizzy

Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey 🍯
Your first sweet kiss thrilled me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey 🍯
I’ll never ever let you go

If you wanted that star that shines so brightly
To match the stardust in your eye 👁
Darling, I would chase that bright star nightly
And try to steal it from the sky 🌌
And I would bring

Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey 🍯
Your first sweet kiss thrilled me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey 🍯
I’ll never ever let you go

If you wanted a king to keep you smiling 🙂
I’d tell the sandman you were blue
And I’d ask him to keep that sand a-piling
Until your dreams had all come true
And I would bring

Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey 🍯
Your first sweet kiss thrilled me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey 🍯
I’ll never ever let you go

And if you wanted a love to last forever ♾
Darling I would send my love your way
And my love’d not only last forever ♾
But forever and a day
And I would bring

Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey 🍯
Your first sweet kiss thrilled me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey 🍯
I’ll never ever let you go

Ich habe die in den sechziger Jahren Live erlebt.
Das war damal ein ganz große Sache.
Die Searchers waren eine sehr gute Gruppe.
