(Mercury Records) Every honeybee fills with jealousy When they see you out with me I don’t blame them goodness knows My honeysuckle rose When you’re passin’ by flowers droop and sigh And I know the reason why You’re much sweeter goodness knows My honeysuckle rose I don’t buy sugar You’ll just have to touch my cup Oh yea you’re my sugar It’s sweet when you stir it up When I’m taking sips from your tasty lips Seems the honey fairly drips You’re confection goodness knows My honeysuckle rose Every honeybee fills with jealousy When they see you out with me I don’t blame them goodness knows My honeysuckle rose When you’re passin’ by flowers droop and sigh And I know the reason why You’re much sweeter goodness knows My honeysuckle rose I don’t buy sugar You’ll just have to touch my cup Oh yea you’re my sugar It’s sweet when you stir it up When I’m taking sips from your tasty lips Seems the honey fairly drips You’re confection goodness knows You’re my honeysuckle rose You’re my sweeter gooness knows ’Cause you’re my ever loving honeysuckle rose
