Honeysuckle Rose

You’re much sweeter, goodness knows
You’re much sweeter, goodness knows
You’re my sugar
It’s so sweet when you stir it up

And I know just why they do
Oh, flowers droop and sigh when you're passing by
I don’t blame them, goodness knows
You’re much sweeter, goodness knows
You’re my honeysuckle rose
I don’t buy sugar
On the avenue, people look at you
Flowers droop and sigh when you're passing by

You’re my honeysuckle rose
You’re much sweeter, goodness knows
On the avenue, people look at you
You just have to touch my cup
You’re much sweeter, goodness knows

And I know just why they do

And I know the reason why

When they see you out with me
You’re my honeysuckle rose

You’re my honeysuckle rose
And I don’t buy sugar
You’re my honeysuckle rose
It’s so sweet when you stir it up

And I know the reason why
You’re my sugar
My honeysuckle rose
You’re much sweeter, goodness knows
You just have to touch my cup
Every honey bee fills with jealousy
