Lyrics

  1. My sweet honey, make a start
    See the longing in my eye
    Some sweet something ’round my heart
    Feels like I’m going to die
    Locked up in your lovin’ arms I want to be
    Throw the key in the sea, Gee!
    Come up closer till I know
    Nothing can break us apart

Chorus:
I’ve got to have some lovin’ now
Won’t you let me show you how
Now hug me like a bear
Come and muss my hair
Give me a kiss on the brow
Come, be a nice sweet honey like you should
And love me while the lovin’s good
I may die in the morning
So I want some lovin’ now

  1. My sweet honey, hear the chimes
    Ringing out the hour of ten
    Kiss me double twenty times
    Then come and kiss me again
    One, two, three, four, wait a while
    The four you passed
    Came too fast, make ’em last, Blast!
    Goodbye, honey, call again
    Don’t go, I’m changing my mind
