Honey Chile - Martha Reeves & Vandellas

You’re shiftless and you’re lazy

Just like the hound dog, Daisy

I had when grandma raised me Honey chile, poor Granny

Got too old to scorn me Dear old auntie warned me You sure was no good for me Honey chile, but your kiss

Is sweeter than the cake

That grandma used to make

Oh them sweet little things about ya Sure enough takes the cake

You ain’t gonna amount to nothing

'Cause you ain’t gonna work for nothing

Without you, I’m good for nothing

Honey chile, honey chile

Sure 'bout to drive me wild

And I love you so Can’t let go Now honey chile oh sugar chile

I’d walk a country mile

Just to be with you

And to stay with you, now honey chile

I try to act like a lady

But you’ve been courtin' Sadie

Your reputation’s shady

Honey chile, hey you even took out Sally
