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
