Lyrics

HONEY
By Ben Kyle

VERSE
Honey before I leave, I?ve gotta check out
The gossip on the TV
Honey before I go, I?ve gotta check out
What?s going on down below

PRE-CHORUS
I?d like to think that I was pure and holy
I?d like to think that you were my one and only

CHORUS
But it?s not what you wished that it was
And it?s never how you thought it could be
When your dreams are always bigger than me

VERSE
Before we rock ?n? roll, I?ve gotta know
This is your soul
Before we start kissing, I?ve gotta find out
If there?s somebody I?m gonna be missing

PRE-CHORUS
I?d like to think that I was pure and holy
I?d like to think that you were my one and only

CHORUS
But it?s not what you wished that it was
And it?s never how you thought it could be
When your dreams are always bigger than me

VERSE
Honey just one more bottle, for the battle
In my head
Honey just one more shot, is it Camelot
Or you instead?

PRE-CHORUS
I?d like to think that I was pure and holy
I?d like to think that you were my one and only

CHORUS
But it?s not what you wished that it was
And it?s never how you thought it could be
When your dreams are always bigger than me
