**[Intro]** **[Male voice, soft]** *Come here…* **[Female voice]** Again. You really know how to talk. And me— I listen. **[Verse 1 — Female]** You got honey on your lips sugar hiding in your voice You say three words, barely anything and somehow the bee comes back by choice **[Male voice, soft]** *Beautiful.* **[Female voice]** There. Two little words and here we go again **[Male voice, tender]** *Cuddles you.* **[Female voice]** Like it's nothing like those little words won't follow me into tomorrow **[Male voice, low]** *Come here.* **[Female voice]** Soft and slow You already know the way And I'm pretending I can resist with honey dripping from my hands I know the taste I know the effect I should probably know better by now But don't ask a bee to fly past honey and never take a taste. **[Pre-Chorus — Female]** Honey on your lips honey in my head One little drop and the bee comes back again Honey in your voice honey in my veins I know what it does And I go back anyway. **[Chorus — Female]** Honey, honey more honey You pour sugar in my ears **[Male voice, distant]** *Come here.* **[Female voice]** And the bee comes back Like she doesn't already know the way by heart Honey, honey you talk so well **[Male voice, soft]** *Beautiful.* **[Female voice]** And I almost forget myself I know that words don't prove a thing But God— I love the way they taste. **[Verse 2 — Female]** **[Male voice, tender]** *Kiss your forehead.* **[Female voice]** That one— I'll admit It stays a little longer than the others do **[Male voice, low]** *Pull you closer.* **[Female voice]** Slowly. Another drop at exactly the right time And I analyze I analyze Like thinking could make me immune I turn your words around in my head trying to work out what they really mean Honest? Maybe. Beautiful? Way too much. Dangerous? Only when I give them more weight than I should Because maybe you mean every word Maybe your honey isn't a lie at all But even real honey is still sugar And me— I always seem to want another taste. **[Pre-Chorus — Female]** Honey on your lips honey in my head **[Male voice, soft]** *Cuddles you.* **[Female voice]** And the bee comes back again Honey in your voice honey in my veins I know what it does And I go back anyway. **[Chorus — Female]** Honey, honey more honey You pour sugar in my ears **[Male voice, distant]** *Come here.* **[Female voice]** And the bee comes back Like she doesn't already know the way by heart Honey, honey you talk so well **[Male voice, soft]** *Beautiful.* **[Female voice]** And I almost forget myself I know that words don't prove a thing But God— I love the way they taste. **[Bridge]** **[Male voice, soft — one phrase at a time]** *Cuddles you.* **[Female voice]** One drop. **[Male voice]** *Beautiful.* **[Female voice]** Two drops. **[Male voice]** *Come here.* **[Female voice]** Three. And look at the little bee who swore she wasn't hungry anymore. **[Male voice, tender]** *Kiss your forehead.* **[Female voice]** I could say I don't believe you That'd be a lie. **[Male voice, low]** *Pull you closer.* **[Female voice]** I could say I believe you That'd be too much. So I taste. And I wait to see what's left when the honey stops flowing. **[Final Chorus — Female]** Honey, honey more honey Yeah, I like the sugar in my ears **[Male voice, distant]** *Come here.* **[Female voice]** And probably— the bee will come back again Honey, honey I know your taste I'm not gonna pretend I don't like it anyway But this time I'll keep my eyes open 'Cause honey can be honest without ever being a promise. **[Outro]** **[Male voice, whispered]** *Pull you closer…* **[Female voice, soft]** Then pull me closer. And this time— don't say it.
