Honey Chile

Honey Chile - Martha Reeves & Vandellas

Written by：S. Moy/R. Morris

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

And I love you so can't
