Well the first time that I met you, you were only seventeen But I had to put you down, 'cause I didn't know where you'd been You had a long black dress, Your hair in a mess, You didn't seem to have no class But the look on your face Was no disgrace I knew I'd had to move real fast Honey child Don't you know you drive me wild Oh Honey child Don't you know you drive me wild Just about to lose my mind Well the second time that I met you, you were just turned twenty-one And all your talk about love, love, was gone, long gone Oh Honey child Don't you know you drive me wild Honey child Don't you know you drive me wild Just about to lose my mind Oh Honey child Don't you know you drive me wild Honey child Don't you know you drive me wild Honey child Don't you know you drive me wild Honey child Don't you know you drive me wild Honey child Don't you know you drive me wild Honey child Don't you know you drive me wild Honey, honey, honey, honey child Don't you know you drive me wild
