Don't Want To Live Without Honey

Dave Dudley · Other Songs - Dave Dudley

First time I soared my heart felt a little bit funny

I knew right away I just had to have honey

Lips like cherry wine feel good touch of mine she makes everyday sunny

I'm such a fool about don't want to live without honey

When I'm a rounder my heart keeps to beaten like thunder

And then when we kiss I keep a thinking no wonder

Heaven couldn't be sweeter than when she starts me feeling so funny

I'm such a fool about don't want to live without honey

[ guitar ]

I'd buy the diamonds if I had the barrel of money

I want her to know nothing's too good for honey

Lips like cherry wine feel good touch of mine she makes everyday sunny

I'm such a fool about don't want to live without honey

I'm such a fool about don't want to live without honey

I'm such a fool about don't want to live without honey
