Martha Reeves and The Vandellas - Honey Chile lyrics

You're shiftless and you're lazy Just like that hound dog, Daisy I had when grandma raised me Honey Chile! When 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 bake All 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 Ooo, Sugar Chile I'd walk me a country mile Just to be with you It's sad but true, 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 up on the vine That went in granny's wine 'Cause like that homemade wine, so sweet You sure enough drive 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 Chile Oooo, sugar Chile I'd walk me a country mile Just to be with you It's sad but true, now Honey Chile Ooo, listen here now 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've gone a hurtin' crazy Honey Chile Sugar Chile I'd walk me a country mile Just to be with you It's sad but true now, Honey Chile Hey, honey Chile Sure 'bout to drive me wild And I love you so, can't let go Now Honey Chile Hey, Sugar Chile
