Honey (Smooth Version with Intro) Lyrics

[Intro: Mariah Carey]
Oh, oh, honey got me hooked on you
(I like that)
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
La da da da da da da da, da da (Yeah)
La da da da da da da da, la da da da da
La da da da da da da da, da da da da da
La da da da da da da da
La da da da da, da da da da, oh

[Verse 1: Mariah Carey]
Oh honey, you can have me when you want me
If you simply ask me to be there
And you're the only one who makes me come runnin'
'Cause what you got is far beyond compare, oh

[Chorus 1: Mariah Carey]
And it's just like honey (Yeah)
When your love comes over me (Comes over me)
Oh baby, I've got a dependency (I've got a dependency)
Always strung out for another taste of your honey

[Chorus 2: Mariah Carey]
It's like honey when it washes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dyin' for ya, cryin' for ya, I adore ya
One hit of your love addicted me
Now I'm strung out on you, darlin', don't you see?
Every night and day
I can hardly wait for another taste of honey
[Post-Chorus: Mariah Carey]
Honey, I can't describe
How good it feels inside
Honey, I can't describe
How good it feels inside

[Verse 2: Mariah Carey]
I can't be elusive with you, honey
'Cause it's blatant that I'm feelin' you
And it's too hard for me to leave abruptly
'Cause you're the only thing I wanna do

[Chorus 1: Mariah Carey]
And it's just like honey
When your love comes over me
(When your love comes over me)
Oh baby, I've got a dependency
Always strung out for another
Taste of your honey

[Chorus 2: Mariah Carey]
It's like honey when it washes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dying for you, cryin' for you, I adore you
(I need you, babe)
One hit of your love addicted me
(Ooh, your love addicted me)
Now I'm strung out on you, darlin'
Don't you see every night and day?
(I can't wait for another)
I can hardly wait for another taste of honey
[Post-Chorus: Mariah Carey]
(Baby, I can hardly wait)
Honey, I can't describe
(Gotta have another taste)
How good it feels inside
(I gotta have you now, come on, baby)
Honey I can't describe
(I need your honey right now)
How good it feels inside
(Come sweet to me with your honey)

[Bridge: Mariah Carey & Diddy]
(Breakdown)
Every little thing you do
(I like that)
Oh, oh, honey got me hooked on you

[Chorus 2: Mariah Carey]
(Honey, it's like)
It's like honey when it washes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
(Oh sugar, you know)
And I'm dying for you, cryin' for you, I adore you
(I need your love, oh, right now, baby)
One hit of your love addicted me
(One)
Now I'm strung out on you darlin'
(Every)
Don't you see every night and day?
I can hardly wait for another taste of honey
(I need a taste of honey)
[Chorus 2: Mariah Carey]
It's like honey when it washes over me
(I need...)
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dying for you, cryin' for you, I adore you
(Honey I...)
One hit of your love addicted me
(I nee-ee-ed, nee-ee-ed, nee-ee-ed it)
Now I'm strung out on you darlin'
Don't you see every night and day?
(Oh honey I)
I can hardly wait for another taste of honey
(Honey I)

[Chorus 2: Mariah Carey]
It's like honey when it washes over me
(I nee-ee-ed, nee-ee-ed, need it)
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dying for you, cryin' for you, I adore you
(I nee-ee-ed, nee-ee-ed, need it)
One hit of your love addicted me
(And I nee-ee-ed, nee-ee-ed, need it)
Now I'm strung out on you darlin'
Don't you see every night and day?
(I nee-ee-ed, nee-ee-ed, need it)
I can hardly wait for another taste of honey

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

Considered the “pop version” of “Honey”, this version was sent to pop stations in August 1997. Instrumentally, it’s noticeably more sample-led compared to the album version, features a different preset for the recurring piano riff interpolated from “Hey DJ” and the strings are only present after the bridge leading back into the chorus. This version also doesn’t feature ad libs by Ma$e and almost all of P. Diddy’s ad libs were muted, except for “breakdown” right before the bridge.

Commercially, it was only included on a CD single released in the UK, alongside the original version and the Bad Boy and So So Def remixes.
