[Verse 1]
I went out late last night
And through the door, saw a burin' light
It was my love from long ago
And she had me in her sights

[Chorus]
I said, "Honey, please (Honey, please)
Leave me be (Leave me be)
Stay the hell away from me
You were my love long ago
But, I'm a new man now
Honey, you should know"

[Verse 2]
Well, she cried me a river
Yeah, she cried me a lake
When she cried me that ocean
I cried "Oh, what the hell to say"

[Chorus]
I said, "Honey, please (Honey, please)
Leave me be (Leave me be)
Stay the hell away from me
You were my love long ago
But, I'm a new man now
Honey, you should know"
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I said, "Honey, please (Honey, please)
Leave me be (Leave me be)
Stay the hell away from me
You were my love long ago
But, I'm a new man now
Honey, you should know"

I said, "Honey, please (Honey, please)
Won't you leave me be (Leave me be)
Stay the hell away from me
You were my love long ago
But, I'm a new man now
Honey, you should know"
