Martha & The Vandellas Honey Chile
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
