Baby, you got honey love
Sweeter than candy, you got honey love
I’ve got to have it, that honey love
Sweeter than candy, that got honey love

I keep on yearning all in my sleep
You’ve got me burning for that sweet treat

Baby, you got honey love
Sweeter than candy, you got honey love
Keep on making that honey love
Keep on shaking that honey love
Keep on making that honey love
I’ll keep taking that honey love

I can’t believe love can be so neat
Oh and your sweet love, girl it just can’t be beat

Baby, you got honey love
It’s sweeter than candy, that honey love

Honey love, honey love, honey love, honey love

Baby, adowop, adoo adoo adoowop
Baby, adowop, adoo adoo adoowop

Let’s get down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down

Baby, I must be dreaming
Oh baby, girl you got me screaming

Honey, oh honey

Baby, baby

Candy love, sugar love
Get down with that honey love
Get on down
Candy love, sugar love
Get down with that honey love
Keep on doing what your doing
Candy love, sugar love
Get down with that honey love
Keep on making, keep on making
Candy love, sugar love
Get down with that honey love
Get down, get down
Candy love, sugar love
Get down with that honey love
Keep on doing it, keep on doing it, keep on making
Candy love, sugar love
Get down with that honey love
