No, you're not gonna get what you need Baby, I have what you want Come get your honey I got your honey, baby Every color and every taste Every breath that whispers your name It's like emeralds on the pavement Every color and every taste Every breath that whispers your name It's like emeralds on the pavement I got your honey, baby At the heart of some kind of flower Stuck in little strings of saliva Won't you get me right where the hurt is? At the heart of some kind of flower Stuck in little strings of saliva Won't you get me right where the hurt is? And the waves come in and they're golden But down in the deep, the honey is sweeter (Ooh, it is sweeter, baby) And the sun sets on the water But down in the deep, the current is stronger Oh, yeah No, you're not gonna get what you need But baby, I have what you want Come get your honey No, you're not gonna get what you need (you need) But baby, I have what you want (what you want) Come get your honey (your honey, your honey) I got your honey, baby Can you open up to the pleasure? Suck it up inside like a treasure Let the brighter space be your passion Can you open up to the pleasure? Suck it up inside like a treasure Let the brighter space be your passion I got your honey, baby Let go of your doubts, say yes Let it soak up into the flesh Never had this kind of nutrition Let go of your doubts, say yes Let it soak up into the flesh Never had this kind of nutrition And the waves come in and they're golden But down in the deep, the honey is sweeter (sweeter) Yeah, yeah And the sun sets on the water But down in the deep, the current is stronger (deep, baby) Ooh, it's stronger No, you're not gonna get what you need baby, I have what you want Come get your honey (I have what you want) No, you're not gonna get what you need (get what you need) By, I have what you want (what you want) Come get your honey, baby (I have what you want)
