Verse: 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: Ev'ry honey bee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me,
I don't blame them, goodness knows, honeysuckle rose
When you're passing by, flowers droop and sigh,
And I know the reason why,
You're much sweeter, goodness knows, honeysuckle rose.
Don't buy 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.
