“Honey Bee” is an extended sexual metaphor in which the singer envisions her lover as a honey bee surrounding her, as a flower.
From Walt Whitman’s Spontaneous Me:
The hairy wild-bee that murmurs and hankers up and
down—that gripes the full-grown lady-flower,
curves upon her with amorous firm legs...
[Verse 1]
Oh my little honey bee
I'm so glad you stung me
You've become my weakness
Now I've got your sweetness
All up in my hair
Honey bee, I swear
We make quite a pair
Oh my little honey bee
[Verse 2]
Oh my little honey bee
I'm so glad you stung me
Buzz around your hive now
You're in overdrive now
Give me such a thrill
Honey bee be still
Oh my little honey bee
[Verse 3]
Oh my little honey bee
I'm so glad you stung me
Now I've got your honey
All over my tummy
Honey bee, it's heaven
Twenty-four seven
Oh my little honey bee
[Verse 4]
Oh my little honey bee
I'm so glad you stung me
You've become my weakness
Now I've got your sweetness
All up in my hair
Honey bee, I swear
We make quite a pair
