Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every honeybee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them, goodness knows
Honeysuckle Rose
[Verse 2]
When you're passing by, flowers droop and sigh
And I know the reason why
You're much sweeter, goodness knows
Honeysuckle Rose
[Verse 3]
Don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar
It's sweet when you stir it up
[Verse 4]
When I'm taking sips from your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
Your confection, goodness knows
Honeysuckle Rose
[Verse 5]
Don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
'Cause you're my sugar
It's sweet when you stir it up
[Verse 6]
And honey drips from your lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
Your confection, goodness knows
Honeysuckle Rose
[Verse 7]
So don't buy sugar
'Cause you're my sugar
And your confection, goodness knows
Honeysuckle Rose
