“Honey” is the 11th track on Taylor Swift’s twelfth studio album The Life of a Showgirl and discusses how her current relationship with Travis Kelce has redefined what the word means to her. Honey is typically used as a term of endearment towards ones partner or linked to a persons sweet personality...
[Intro]
You can call me "honey" if you want because I'm the one you want
Mm, mm
[Chorus]
When anyone called me "sweetheart"
It was passive-aggressive at the bar
And the bitch was telling me to back off
'Cause her man had looked at me wrong
If anyone called me "honey"
It was standing in the bathroom, white teeth
They were saying that skirt don't fit me
And I cried the whole way home
[Post-Chorus]
But you touched my face
Redefined all of those blues when you say "honey"
[Verse 1]
Summertime spritz, pink skies
You can call me "honey" if you want because I'm the one you want
Wintergreen kiss, all mine
You give it different meaning 'cause you mean it when you talk
Honey, I'm home, we could play house
We can bed down, pick me up
Who's the baddest in the land? What's the plan? (What's the plan?)
You could be my forever-night stand, honey
[Chorus]
When anyone called me "sweetheart"
It was passive-aggressive at the bar
And the bitch was telling me to back off
'Cause her man had looked at me wrong
If anyone called me "honey"
It was standing in the bathroom, white teeth
They were saying that skirt don't fit me
And I cried the whole way home
[Post-Chorus]
But you touched my face
Redefined all of those blues when you say—
[Verse 2]
You can call me "honey" if you want because I'm the one you want
I'm the one you want
You give it different meaning 'cause you mean it when you talk
Sweetie, it's yours, kicking in doors
Take it to the floor, give me more
Buy the paint in the color of your eyes (Of your eyes)
And graffiti my whole damn life, honey
[Bridge]
When anyone called me late night
He was screwing around with my mind
Asking, "What are you wearing?", too high
To remember in the morning
And when anyone called me "lovely"
They were finding ways not to praise me
But you say it like you're in awe of me
And you stay until the morning
Honey
[Chorus]
When anyone called me "sweetheart"
It was passive-aggressive at the bar
And the bitch was telling me to back off
'Cause her man had looked at me wrong (He looked at me wrong)
If anyone called me "honey" (Ooh)
It was standing in the bathroom (Yeah), white teeth
They were saying that skirt don't fit me
And I cried the whole way home (Cried the whole way home)
[Outro]
But you can call me "honey" if you want
