Every honey bee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don’t blame them goodness knows
My honeysuckle rose

Flowers droop and sigh when your'e passing by
And I know the reason why
You’re much sweeter goodness knows
You’re my honeysuckle rose

I don’t buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You’re my sugar
It’s so sweet when you stir it up

On the avenue people look at you
And I know just why they do
You’re much sweeter goodness knows
You’re my honeysuckle rose

You’re much sweeter goodness knows
You’re my honeysuckle rose

And I don’t buy sugar

You’re my sugar
It’s so sweet when you stir it up

You’re much sweeter goodness knows
You’re my honeysuckle rose
