On the avenue, people look at you
You’re much sweeter, goodness knows
You’re much sweeter, goodness knows
I don’t blame them, goodness knows
You’re my honeysuckle rose
You’re my honeysuckle rose
You’re my honeysuckle rose
And I know the reason why
It’s so sweet when you stir it up
My honeysuckle rose
And I don’t buy sugar
And I know the reason why
And I know just why they do
I don’t buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You’re my honeysuckle rose
Every honey bee fills with jealousy
It’s so sweet when you stir it up
You’re much sweeter, goodness knows
You’re my sugar
On the avenue, people look at you
You just have to touch my cup
You’re much sweeter, goodness knows
Flowers droop and sigh when you're passing by
And I know just why they do
Oh, flowers droop and sigh when you're passing by
You’re my honeysuckle rose
You’re much sweeter, goodness knows
When they see you out with me
You’re much sweeter, goodness knows
You’re my sugar
