[Verse 1] Every time a footstep hits the kitchen floor You come alive like you’ve never seen food before Those eyes say, “Are you going to feed me?” Like love means snacks and you’re checking if I need reminding Then you sit like a human in the soft lamp glow With your paws crossed neat like you already know That this couch, this room, this whole little place Feels a whole lot safer with your watchful face [Pre-Chorus] You guard every window like a castle wall Bunnies in the yard better move on small Birds in the tree line, squirrels on the wire Delivery men arrive and you breathe little fire [Chorus] Honey Bunny, Honey Bear You rule this kingdom from anywhere From the couch to the glass to the edge of the bed You got your own way of getting inside my head Need your own pillow, need your own throne Need a long walk where your whole hips roll And under all that tough-girl combat I swear, sweet thing, you think you’re a cat [Verse 2] You kept your swimmer heart a secret for a while Acted like water wasn’t really your style Then one day the truth came up and shined There was joy in the splash you were trying to hide And when the evening comes and the house gets still You curl up only if the terms fit your will No pillow, no deal, that’s the bedtime law Soft little tyrant with the gentlest paws [Bridge] And Lord help anything rolling by A stroller, a scooter, a cart outside You lock in fast with that fierce-eyed stare Like the wheels themselves put tension in the air It’s funny till it isn’t, then the whole block knows Honey does not negotiate with rolling foes [Final Chorus] Honey Bunny, Honey Bear Half wild heart and half old prayer Window queen with the kitchen plea “Are you going to feed me?” in perfect key Big long walk and that butt wiggle sway Tiny home guardian owning every day You’re soft, you’re stubborn, you’re brave like that And maybe, just maybe, you’re part house cat [Outro] Honey Bunny Come take your pillow The kingdom is safe tonight.
