Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I need it

When the moon is bright

I need it

When you hold me tight

I need it

In the middle of the night

I need your honey love

[Verse 2]

I want it

When the lights are low

I want it

Just before you go

I want it

Because I love you so

Have a little a-mercy and give some honey love

[Verse 3]

Now, throw your arms around me

Pretend that you're loving dove

Now, you squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, ooh

That's the honey love

[Verse 4]

I'm gonna get it

In the morning sun

I'm gonna get it

When the day is done

I'm gonna get it

'Cause it's so much fun

I'm gonna get me some honey love

[Verse 5]

Yes, I love it

'Cause it feels so fine

I love it

Yes, it thrills my spine

I love it

'Cause you're mine, all mine

I love your, uh, honey love

[Verse 6]

Let's you and me get cozy

Just like the fingers in a glove

Let's kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss

That's the honey love, ooh-we

[Verse 7]

I need it

When the moon is bright

I need it

When you hold me tight

I need it

In the middle of the night

I need, mmm, honey love

[Verse 8]

I need (Oh, yeah) honey love

I need (Ah, baby) honey love

I need (Get it, boy) honey love

I need your honey love
