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
