A Taste Of Honey

Supremes · Magnificent The Complete Studio Duets [2009]

Winds may blow over icy sea

I'll take with me the warmth of thee

A taste of honey

A taste much sweeter, sweeter than wine

I will return, I'll return

Oh, I'll come back for the honey and you

Now baby, hey

I'll leave behind my heart to wear

And may it ever remind you of

A taste of honey

A taste much sweeter than wine

I will return, I'll return

I'll come back for the honey and you

He never came backto his love so fair

And so she died dreaming of his kiss

His kiss was honey

A taste much bitter than wine

Oh, baby, baby, baby

I'll return (come on back)

I'm coming back (come on back)

I'll be back now, baby (come on back)

I'll be back, oooh

I'll come back for the honey

And you, baby (honey!)

You, baby (honey!), you, baby

I'm coming back now baby (come on back)
