Spare and bone-dry delivery of these lyrics make palatable what would otherwise have been sappy, saccharine, and unsavory-ly sweet. “Honey Pot” is a master class in contrast. It is sarcastic and sincere, intensely casual, bringing a sense of humor to the serious (and apparently competitive) business...
[Chorus]
Honey pot
I love you a lot
Honey pot
You say you're not
[Verse 1]
You got five other guys saying "love me do"
You know what they want from you
Me, all I ask is love
And honey pot, my love you can trust
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
But when you're alone and feeling bad
I'm the one who'll always have
A place for you to turn to in trouble
And honey pot I'll always love ya
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Oh honey pot I can tell by your eyes
You're as wild as I am shy
So take me by the hand and lead me to that land
Where everything is honey and sweet and sugar pie
[Modified Chorus]
Honey pot
I love you a lot
Honey pot
Please say you will
Please say you will
Please say you will
Oh honey pot
