Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Sweet, sweet wild honey bee)
(Eat, eat it up, eat it up, honey)
[Verse 2]
Mama, I'm tellin' you
As sure as I am standin' here
She's my girl and that's the way
I'm keepin' it now, mama dear
[Verse 3]
No good will it do you
To stand there and frown at me
The girl's got my heart
And my love's comin' down on me
My love's comin' down
Since I got a taste of wild honey
[Verse 4]
(Sweet, sweet wild honey bee)
She's got the sweetness of a honey bee
(Eat, eat it up, eat it up, honey)
Wild honey
(Sweet, sweet wild honey bee)
She got it on and stung me good, yes siree
(Eat it up, eat it up, honey)
[Verse 5]
With all the other stud bees
Buzzin' all around her hive
She singled me out
Single handed, took me alive
Well, can you, can you
I'm gonna take  my life
Eatin' up her wild honey?
[Verse 6]
(Sweet, sweet wild honey bee)
(Eat, eat it up, eat it up, honey)
(Sweet, sweet wild honey bee)
(Eat, eat it up, eat it up, honey)
[Verse 7]
Oh mama, she's sweeter (sweeter)
Gettin' sweeter (sweeter)
Sweeter, sweeter, sweet
[Verse 8]
Wild honey, let me tell you
(Sweet, sweet wild honey bee)
How she really got to my soul
(Eat, eat it up, eat it up, honey)
It ain't funny, the way she make me
(Sweet, sweet wild honey bee)
Wanna sing a little rock 'n roll
(Eat, eat it up, eat it up, honey)
[Verse 9]
There's nothin' quite like
As a kiss of my honey
I break my back workin'
Just to save me some money
So I can spend my life with her
[Verse 10]
Sock it to me wild honey
(Sweet, sweet wild honey bee)
Wild honey, she's mine
(Eat, eat it up, eat it up, honey)
Wild honey, she's mine
[Verse 11]
(Sweet, sweet wild honey bee)
(Eat, eat it up, eat it up, honey)
(Sweet, sweet wild honey bee)
(Eat, eat it up, eat it up, honey)
