Martha Reeves & The 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
 Who lives across the alley
 Oh I've been keeping tally
 Honey chile you're like the grapes
 Upon the vine at winning pretty wine
 'Cause like that home made wine so sweet
 You sure enough drove me out of my mind now
 You ain't nothing but a playboy
 Using me for a play toy
 You're ruining my pride and joy
 Now honey chile, honey chile
 Sure 'bout to drive me wild
 And I love you so, can't let go
 Now honey, ,oh sugar chile
 I'd walk a country mile
 Just to be with you
 And to stay with you, now honey chile

 One day I'm gonna get stronger
 And I won't need you no longer
 This feeling will be a goner
 Honey chile, hey now I can't take disgracin'
 That ain't the way granny raised me
 You're gonna just hurt like crazy
 Honey chile, sugar chile
 I'd walk a country mile
 Just to be with you
 And to stay with you, honey chile
 Hey honey chile sure 'bout to drive me wild
