If I do hate when you say goodnight
It's 'cause I get so lonely without you
And I was hopin' that you'd flip the light
But you leave me lonely
And if you'd have kissed me you'd know
My skin tastes like milk and honey
Honey, just in case you care to know
My love is sweeter than money
What's inside the beehive, honey, is gold
Ooh, my, my
Honey once was the nectar of gods
I pour a little warm cream in and you've got some cup of tea
But you're too scared of gettin' stung to get what you want
And I like a bee charmin' man
So it's lucky for me
My skin tastes like milk and honey
Oh honey, just in case you care to know
My love is sweeter than money
What's inside the beehive, honey, is gold
Ooh, my, my

So I said come a little bit closer
And I whispered in his ear
My skin tastes like milk and honey
Oh honey, I just thought you'd care to know
My love is sweeter than money
What's inside the beehive
We'll taste like milk and honey
Oh honey, just in case you care to know
My love is sweeter than money, honey
What's inside the beehive is gold
What's inside the story yet untold
What's inside the beehive, honey, is gold
Ooh, my, my
