[Verse 1]

You say honey like it's gold

Not the kind that gets me cold

I've been kissed with loaded words

Pretty lies that always hurt

They would dress it up in sweet

Just to knock me off my feet

But you say it, no disguise

And it hits me every time

[Pre-Chorus]

You say it once, I want it twice

Damn, you got me overnight

[Chorus]

Honey, say it like you mean it

Drip it slow, I wanna feel it

No more venom in the kiss

Only sugar on your lips

Honey, got me kinda reckless

Talk so sweet, it's almost shameless

If you're gonna say my name

Say it honey, not in vain

[Post-Chorus]

Honey, honey

Yeah, I like it like that

Honey, honey

I'm never going back

[Verse 2]

Used to flinch, used to freeze

Every sweetheart made me leave

Every baby had a catch

Every love would double back

Now you're saying it for real

And I don't know how to deal

Kinda love the way it sounds

When you say it in my mouth

[Pre-Chorus]

You say it once, I need a hit

Yeah, I'm hooked on all of it

[Chorus]

Honey, say it like you mean it

Drip it slow, I wanna feel it

No more venom in the kiss

Only sugar on your lips

Honey, got me kinda reckless

Talk so sweet, it's almost shameless

If you're gonna say my name

Say it honey, not in vain

[Post-Chorus]

Honey, honey

Yeah, I like it like that

Honey, honey

I'm never going back

[Bridge]

I wore that word, like a bruise on my tongue

Said I was honey, while I came undone

Every soft syllable cut too deep

Love didn't sound like it did in my dreams

Now you're tracing it slow on my skin

Like you're erasing where I've been

Turning a wound into something warm

For the first time, it don't feel like a warning

[Breakdown]

Say it soft, let it fall from your mouth

Stay there, don't let the sweetness run out

Hold me, right where the hurt used to be

Say it again, say it only for me

[Chorus]

Honey, say it like you mean it

Drip it slow, I wanna feel it

No more venom in the kiss

Only sugar on your lips

Honey, got me kinda reckless

Talk so sweet, it's almost shameless

If you're gonna say my name

Say it honey, not in vain

[Post-Chorus]

Honey, honey

Yeah, I like it like that

Honey, honey

I'm never going back

[Outro]

Honey, honey

Yeah, I need it like that

Honey, honey

Yeah, don't take it back
