Lyrics

[Chorus]

Ooh, sugar pie, honey bunch

You know that I love you

I can't help myself

I love you and nobody else

[Verse 1]

In and out my life

You come and you go

Leaving just your picture behind

And I've kissed it a thousand times

When you snap your finger or wink your eye

I come a-running to you

I'm tied to your apron strings

And there's nothing that I can do, ooh

[Chorus]

I can't help myself

No, I can't help myself

'Cause sugar pie, honey bunch

I'm weaker than a man should be

I can't help myself

I'm a fool in love, you see

[Verse 2]

Wanna tell you I don't love you

Tell you that we're through, and I try

But every time I see your face

I get all choked up inside

[Verse 3]

When I call your name

Girl, it starts the flame

Burning in my heart, tearing it all apart

No matter how I try

My love I cannot hide

[Chorus]

'Cause sugar pie, honey bunch

You know that I'm weak for you

Can't help myself

I love you and nobody else

[Chorus]

Sugar pie, honey bunch

I'd do anything you ask me to

Can't help myself

I want you and nobody else, ooh

[Chorus]

Sugar pie, honey bunch

You know that I love you

Can't help myself

No, I can't help myself

[Outro]

Sugar pie, honey bunch
