Lyrics
Have no use for other sweets of any kind
Since the day you came around
From the start I instantly made up my mind
Sweeter sweetness can’t be found
You’re so sweet, can’t be beat
Nothin’ sweeter ever stood on feet
Chorus
Every honey bee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don’t blame them, goodness knows
Honeysuckle Rose
When you’re passin’ by flowers droop and sigh
And I know the reason why
You’re much sweeter, goodness knows
Honeysuckle Rose
Don’t by sugar, you just have to touch my cup
You’re my sugar, it’s sweet when you stir it up
When I’m takin’ sips from your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You’re confection, goodness knows
Honeysuckle Rose
