Honey Lyrics – Taylor Swift
Honey Lyrics - Taylor Swift
[Refrain] You can call me “honey,” If you want, because i’m the one you want. Mm-mm.
[Chorus] When anyone called me “sweetheart,” It was passive-aggressive at the bar, And the bitch was tellin’ me to back off, ‘Cause her man had looked at me wrong.
If anyone called me “honey,” It was standin’ in the bathroom, white teeth, They were sayin’ that skirt don’t fit me, And i cried the whole way home.
[Post-Chorus] But you touched my face, Redefined all of those blues, When you say “honey.”
[Verse 1] Summertime spritz, pink skies. You can call me “honey,” if you want, Because i’m the one you want. Wintergreen kiss, on my — Gave it a different meaning, ‘Cause you mean it when you talk. Honey, i’m home, we could play house, We can bed down down, pick me up. Who’s the baddest in the land? What’s the plan? (what’s the plan?) You could be my forever night stand. Honey.
[Chorus] When anyone called me “sweetheart,” It was passive-aggressive at the bar, And the bitch was tellin’ me to back off (back off), ‘Cause her man had looked at me wrong. If anyone called me “honey,” It was standin’ in the bathroom, white teeth, They were sayin’ that skirt don’t fit me, And i cried the whole way home.
[Post-Chorus] But you touched my face, Redefined all of those blues, When you say —
[Verse 2] You can call me “honey,” if you want, Because i’m the one you want. I’m the one you want. You give it different meaning, ‘Cause you mean it when you talk. Sweetie, it’s yours, kicking in doors, Take it to the floor, give me more. Buy the paint in the color of your eyes (of your eyes), And graffiti my whole damn life. Honey.
[Bridge] When anyone called me late night, He was screwin’ around with my mind, Askin’, “what are you wearin’?” Too hard to remember in the morning. And when anyone called me “lovely,” They were findin’ ways not to praise me. But you say it like you’re in awe of me, And you stay until the morning. Honey.
[Chorus] When anyone called me “sweetheart,” It was passive-aggressive at the bar, And the bitch was tellin’ me to back off (back off), ‘Cause her man had looked at me wrong (He looked at me wrong).
If anyone called me “honey” (ooh), It was standin’ in the bathroom (yeah), white teeth, They were sayin’ that skirt don’t fit me, And i cried the whole way home (Cried the whole way home).
[Outro] But you can call me “honey,” if you want.
