This song is about an unexpected pregnancy told from the point of view of the father-to-be. Michael Stipe wrote it as a counterpoint/response to the 10,000 Maniacs song “Eat for Two”, which is about the same situation from the perspective of the mother-to-be.
Me in Honey Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I sat there looking ugly, looking ugly and mean
Knew what you were saying, you were saying to me
Baby's got some new rules, baby said she's had it with me
[Chorus]
It seems a shame to waste your time on me
It seems a lot to waste your time for me
Left me to love what it's doing to me
[Verse 2]
There's a lot of honey in this world
Baby, this honey's for me
Got to do what you do, do it with me
[Chorus]
It seems a shame to waste your time for me
Left me to love what it's doing to me
[Verse 3]
Knocked silly, knocked flat, sideways down
These things, they pick you up and they turn you around
Say your piece, say you're sweet for me
[Chorus]
It's all the same to share the pain with me
It's all the same to save the shame for me
Left me to love what it's doing to me
[Verse 4]
Baby's got some new rules, baby says she's had it with me
There's a fly in the honey, and baby's got a baby with me
[Chorus]
That's a part, that's a part of me
Left me to love what it's doing to me
Left me to love what it's doing to me
[Outro]
What about me?
What about me?
