Do do, do do do, do do do, do do 
Do do, do do do, do do do, do do

The show is over
And the monkey is dead
Turn that music down
Put that cold rag on my head
Nothing for me to do
I'm played out in this town
I'm just sitting here waiting
For Sweet Honey Brown

Sweet Honey Brown
Show me your smile
Haven't seen your tracks
For a long long while
I'm thinking 'bout quitting on you
Sweet Honey Brown

Do do, do do do, do do do, do do 
Do do, do do do, do do do, do do

Well, the roar of this living
Fills in my ears
We all think to ourselves
How did we get here?
In this upside-down world
Where nothing is clear
I'm just sitting here waiting
For Sweet Honey Brown

Sweet Honey Brown
Show me your smile
Haven't tasted your kiss
For a long long while
I'm thinking 'bout quitting on you
Sweet Honey Brown

Do do, do do do, do do do, do do 
Do do, do do do, do do do, do do

Simply a one-eyed Jack
I think that's pretty clear
I always play to win
But I always end up here
There's no telling
If I will ever see you again
As long night turns to day, I'm still waiting
For Sweet Honey Brown
As long night turns to day, I'm still waiting
For Sweet Honey Brown

Sweet Honey Brown
Show me your smile
Kiss me on the lips
You haven't done that for a while
I'm thinking about quitting on, quitting on you
Sweet Honey Brown

Do do, do do do, do do do, do do 
Do do, do do do, do do do, do do
