Honey, Honey

ABBA · The Essential Collection [2012]

Honey honey, how you thrill me, ah-hah, honey honey

Honey honey, nearly kill me, ah-hah, honey honey

I'd heard about you before

I wanted to know some more

And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine

Oh, you make me dizzy



Honey honey, let me feel it, ah-hah, honey honey

Honey honey, don't conceal it, ah-hah, honey honey

The way that you kiss goodnight

(The way that you kiss me goodnight)

The way that you hold me tight

(The way that you're holding me tight)

I feel like I wanna sing when you do your thing



I don't wanna hurt you, baby, I don't wanna see you cry

So stay on the ground, girl, you better not get too high

But I'm gonna stick to you, boy, you'll never get rid of me

There's no other place in this world where I rather would be



Honey honey, touch me, baby, ah-hah, honey honey

Honey honey, hold me, baby, ah-hah, honey honey

You look like a movie star

(You look like a movie star)

But I know just who you are

(I know just who you are)

And, honey, to say the least, you're a dog-gone beast



So stay on the ground, girl, you better not get too high

There's no other place in this world where I rather would be



Honey honey, how you thrill me, ah-hah, honey honey

Honey honey, nearly kill me, ah-hah, honey honey

I heard about you before

I wanted to know some more

And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine

Recorded for their 1973 album *The Sweeney*, the track exemplifies the group's signature sound, characterized by intricate vocal harmonies and a driving beat that defined the Euro-pop genre. The song's structure, featuring a memorable chorus and a distinct bridge, showcased the band's ability to craft anthems that resonated globally. As a staple of their discography, it remains a powerful representation of the era's musical style, celebrated for its catchy melody and the seamless integration of ABBA's vocal talents into a polished production.
