Honey Chile Lyrics

Honey Chile lyrics

HONEY CHILE
Martha Reeves & The Vandellas

You're shiftless and you're
lazy
Just like the hound dog, Daisy
I had when grandma raised me
Honey
chile, poor Granny
Got too 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
That grandma used to make
Oh them sweet little things about
ya
Sure enough takes the cake
You ain't gonna amount to nothing
'Cause
you ain't gonna work for nothing
Without you, I'm good for nothing
Honey
chile, honey chile
Sure 'bout to drive me wild
And I love you so
Can't
let go
Now honey chile oh sugar chile
I'd walk a country mile
Just to
be with you
And to stay with you, now honey chile

I try to act like a
lady
But you've been courtin' Sadie
Your reputation's shady
Honey
chile, hey you even took out Sally
Who lives across the alley
Oh I've
been keeping tally
Honey chile you're like the grapes
Upon the vine at
winning pretty wine
'Cause like that home made wine so sweet
You sure
enough drove me out of my mind now
You ain't nothing but a playboy
Using
me for a play toy
You're ruining my pride and joy
Now honey chile, honey
chile
Sure 'bout to drive me wild
And I love you so, can't let go
Now
honey, ,oh sugar chile
I'd walk a country mile
Just to be with you
And
to stay with you, now honey chile

One day I'm gonna get stronger
And I
won't need you no longer
This feeling will be a goner
Honey chile, hey now
I can't take disgracin'
That ain't the way granny raised me
You're gonna
just hurt like crazy
Honey chile, sugar chile
I'd walk a country
mile
Just to be with you
And to stay with you, honey chile
Hey honey
chile sure 'bout to drive me wild
