[Part I: Tupelo Honey]

[Verse 1]
You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right around all the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea

[Chorus]
Because she's as sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree (She's an angel)
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey, baby, from the bee

[Verse 2]
They can't stop us on the road to freedom
They can't keep us 'cause their eyes can't see
We've got men with insight, we've got men in granite
Hеre are knights in armor bent on chivalry

[Chorus]
Shе's as sweet as Tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree (She's an angel)
She's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey, baby, from the bee

[Part II: Why Must I Always Explain]

[Verse 1]
Have to toe the line, I've got to make the most
Spent all my life going from pillar to post
Standing on the outside and I'm waitin' in the rain
Tell me why must I always explain

[Verse 2]
Bared my soul to the crowd, but oh what the cost
Most of them laughed out loud like nothing's been lost
Hypocrites and parasites and people that just drain
Tell me why must I always explain

[Verse 3]
Why, why, why, why must I always explain
Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again?
It's just my job you know, it's not meant to be sweet Lorraine
Tell me why must I always explain
[Verse 4]
Da da da da da da, da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da, da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da, da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da, always explain

[Verse 5]
Can't be everywhere at once, there's always somebody to see
Never turned out to be who they wanted me to be
But I have to pay the piper time and time and time again
Telling me why must I always explain

[Verse 6]
Well it's out on the highway and it's on with the show
Telling people things they don't really even want to know
(Don't want to know)
Make you crazy, drive you insane
Telling me why must I always explain

[Verse 3]
Why, why, why, why, why, why, why must I always explain
Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again?
It's just my job you know, it's not meant to be sweet Lorraine
Telling me why must I always explain

[Verse 3]
Whoa, why, why, why must I always explain
Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again?
It's just my job you know, it's not meant to be sweet Lorraine
Tell me why must I always explain
[Verse 4]
Da da da da da da, da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da, da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da, da da da da da da da
Tell me why must I always explain

[Outro]
It was like this
Well, it was like this (It was like this)
It was like this (It was like this)
It was like, it was like this
This
