With some help from Craig they were introduced to the musician Jeff Pilson, who helped promote the group.

Honey
The v Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just like the hound dog Daisy
I had when Grandma raised me, honey chile
When Granny got to old to scorn me
Dear old Auntie warned me
You sure was no good for me, honey chile
But your kiss is sweeter than the cake
All the sweet li'l things about you
Sure enough taste like cake
You ain't gonna amount to nothin'
But you ain't gonna work for nothin'
Without you I'm good for nothin', honey chile
Honey chile, sure about to drive you wild
I love you so, keep me goin' now, honey chile
Sugar chile, I won't need a country mile
Just to be with you, exactly true now, honey chile
I try to act like a lady
But you've been goin' with Sade
Your reputation's gained me
Hey, you even took out Sally
Who lives across the alley
Oh I've been keepin' a tally, honey chile
You're like the grapes upon the vine
The grapes in Granny's wine
A vine that always was so sweet
But you're not happy not outside now
You ain't nothin' but a playboy
Usin' me for a play toy
You're ruinin' my pride and joy now, honey chile
Honey chile, sure about to drive you wild
I love you so, keep me goin' now, honey chile
Sugar chile, I won't need a country mile
Just to be with you, exactly true now, honey chile
Listen here now
One day I'm gonna get stronger
And I won't need you no longer
This feelin' will be gone now, honey chile
Hey, now I can't take disgracin'
That ain't the way Granny raised me
You're gonna have the gravy, honey chile
Sugar chile, I won't need a country mile
Just to be with you, exactly true now, honey chile
Hey, honey chile, sure about to drive you wild
I love you so, keep me goin' now, honey chile
The lyrics of The V's song "Honey" portray a conflicted and complicated relationship between two individuals. The female protagonist is aware that the male counterpart is shiftless and lazy, just like her grandmother's hound dog, Daisy. Despite this, the singer is deeply in love with him, and his kiss is sweeter than her grandmother's cake. She dreams about being with him, and she does not believe that she can live without him. However, her family and friends have warned her about him, and his reputation precedes him. She is aware that he is not good for her, and he has disgraced her. She threatens to leave him and get stronger, but she still needs him in her life.
The song is a classic example of a love-hate relationship that is prevalent in modern times. The singer is aware that her lover is not the right choice for her, but she is still deeply in love with him. She is conflicted about her emotions, and her family and friends are taking note of her struggle. Despite her struggles, she is determined to stay with him, and his presence keeps her going. The song's melody and upbeat rhythm reflect the contrasting emotions that the singer is feeling.

You're shiftless and you're lazy
You have a careless attitude and no ambition
Just like the hound dog Daisy
Similar to the dog, you lack energy and drive

When my grandmother was unable to discipline me
Dear old Auntie warned me
My dear auntie cautioned me
You sure was no good for me, honey chile
You were always going to be of no use to me
But your kiss is sweeter than the cake
Despite your flaws, your affection is rewarding
That Grandma used to make
Cake that my grandmother used to bake
All the sweet li'l things about you
I appreciate all the charming qualities that make you unique
Sure enough taste like cake
Those qualities are a treat to my senses
You ain't gonna amount to nothin'
You lack the potential to succeed

You're like the grapes upon the vine
You resemble the grapes on a vine
The grapes in Granny's wine
The grapes that my grandmother used for making wine
A vine that always was so sweet
You have a likable and charming personality
But you're not happy not outside now
You are unhappy and discontented with your current situation
You ain't nothin' but a playboy
You are nothing but a womanizer
Usin' me for a play toy
You're using me for your own pleasure
You're ruinin' my pride and joy now, honey chile
You're damaging my pride and happiness
One day I'm gonna get stronger
I will become emotionally stronger
And I won't need you no longer

This feelin' will be gone now, honey chile
This feeling of dependence on you will disappear
Hey, now I can't take disgracin'
I refuse to endure further humiliation

My grandmother didn't raise me to put up with this behavior
You're gonna have the gravy, honey chile
You're going to get what you deserve

@EchoHeo
Hensh a
No u can eat 4000 yr old honey
@ebiooo
Bluemon okay then, it will expired in 10k years
@nikolkuhar8127
it doesn't expire, but if you open the jar with honey( i don't mean that you only open the lid, I mean that you open it because you want to eat it) after 2-3 months it will start to crystallize, in crystals sugar like, but it won't crystallize thought one night, it will be like one millimeter in month. But even after it crystallize you can eat it 100 years later.

I had a bottle of honey once. It said that it was real honey and that it should be placed in a fridge. I was suspicious about. Why would honey need to be in a fridge when they can be preserved for thousands of years? So I placed it on the dining table and waited for a day. I'm not surprised it turned very liquid like.

Some feedback, after trying your suggested "pure honey" tests at the local supermarket 77 days ago, I have finally been released from prison after I was sentenced to 90 days for food tampering and am now back at home.
At least on the inside the honey was free !
Every cloud has a silver lining and in some jails the honey is free
