She told me, "Open your mouth," she said, "I got a surprise"
And so I opened it wide, and then she crawled inside
She's on the tip of my tongue, she's on the top of my thighs
And if I searched a thousand miles, I'd be dyin' to find
Between my fingers, she leaves, then she lingers
If she's gonna go, well, then I'm goin' with her
I know that I won't forget
She was sweet like honey
But all I can taste is the blood in my mouth
And the bitterness in goodbye
Drippin' like honey down the back of my throat
And on the front of my mind
And now, she's impatient, and I'm complacent
With just a little taste of wastin' time
Lookin' for honey
Well, she stings like she means it, she's mean, and she's mine
Out and about without a reason or rhyme
And now she's dancin' on a table, and she spins on a dime
But she's hell in a basket, just makin' a racket
I love every second, it's fucking fantastic
Good things aren't easy to get
I know that I won't regret
She was sweet like honey
And all I can taste is the blood in my mouth
And the bitterness in goodbye
Drippin' like honey down the back of my throat
And on the front of my mind
And well, she's impatient, and I'm complacent
With just a little taste of wastin' time
Lookin' for honey
Well, she stings like she means it, she's mean, and she's mine
Between my fingers, she leaves, then she lingers
If she's gonna go, well, then I'm goin' with her
And I know that I won't forget
She was sweet like honey
But all I can taste is the blood in my mouth
And the bitterness in goodbye
Drippin' like honey down the back of my throat
And on the front of my mind
And well, she's impatient, and I'm complacent
With just a little taste of wastin' time
Lookin' for honey
Well, she stings like she means it, she's mean, and she's mine
