Honey, won't you please sing another song?
Honey, won't you please be gone?
Your sentimental shakedown rattles through my bones
Honey, won't you, honey, please, move your honey on?

Momma, won't you take, take another turn?
Momma, when you gonna learn?
Trouble comes to everyone who dares to be a muse
Momma, won't you, momma please, spare your momma's blues?

What you don't know will never will hurt you
Don't you know, know that I used to
Pray like all the others on what you never will
Honey, won't you, honey please, hold that honey still?

Sister, won't you show mercy for my deeds?
Sister, won't you hear my pleas?
Virtue takes a lover in vice, God only knows
Sister, won't you, sister please, let your sister go?

Honey, won't you listen, listen to my song?
Honey, won't you please be strong?
You may not see the ending but the story's not so long
Honey, won't you, honey please, shake your honey, hun?

What you don't know never will hurt you
Don't you know, know that I used to
Pray like all the others on what you never will
Honey won't you, honey please, hold that honey still?
Honey won't you, honey please, hold that honey still?
Honey won't you, honey please, hold that honey still?
