[D] [Bm]

[Asus]You can call me “honey” [Em7]if you want because I’m the one you [D]want. [Bm]

mm mm [Asus]

When [D]anyone called [Bm]me “sweetheart”

it was [Asus]passive-aggres[Em7]sive at the park

and the [D]chick was tellin’ me [Bm] to back off

cuz her [Asus]man had looked at me wrong.

If [D]anyone called [Bm]me “honey”

it was [Asus]standing in the bath[Em7]room, white teeth,

they were [D]saying that skirt [Bm] don’t fit me

and I [Asus]cried the whole way home.

But [F#m]you touched my [Em]face,

redefined all of those [F#m]blues

when you [G]say “honey.”

[D]    Summer[Bm] time spritz, pink skies –

[Asus]you can call me “honey” [Em7]if you want because I’m the one you [D]want.

Winter[Bm] green kiss, all mine –

you [Asus]give it different meaning cuz you mean it when you [D]talk.

Honey I’m home, [Bm] we could play house,

we can calm [Asus]down, pick me up,

[Em7]who’s the baddest in the land? What’s the [D]plan? ([Bm] what’s the plan?)

You could [Asus]be my forever best friend, honey.

When [D]anyone called [Bm]me “sweetheart”

it was [Asus]passive-aggres[Em7]sive at the park

and the [D]chick was tellin’ me [Bm] to back off

cuz her [Asus]man had looked at me wrong.

If [D]anyone called [Bm] me “honey”

it was [Asus]standing in the bath[Em7]room, white teeth,

they were [D]saying that skirt [Bm] don’t fit me

and I [Asus]cried the whole way home.

But [F#m]you touched my [Em]face,

redefined all of those [F#m]blues

when you [G]say…

[D] [Bm]

[Asus]You can call me “honey” [Em7]if you want because I’m the one you [D]want.

([Bm] I’m the one you want)

You [Asus]give it different meaning[Em7] cuz you mean it when you [D]talk.

Sweetie it’s yours,[Bm]kickin’ in doors,

take it to the f[Asus]loor, give me more.

[Em7]Buy the paint in the color of your [D]eyes

([Bm]of your eyes)

and gra[Asus]ffiti my en[Em7]tire life, honey.

When [D]anyone called me [Bm]late night

he was [Asus]messin’ around with [Em7]my mind

askin’, “[D]what are you doin’[Bm]?”, too tired,

to re[Asus]member in the mor[Em7]nin’.

And when [D]anyone called me “[Bm]lovely”

they were [Asus]finding ways not to [Em7]praise me,

but you [D]say it like you’re in [Bm]awe of me

and you [Asus]stay until the mor[Em7]ning, honey.

When [D]anyone called [Bm]me “sweetheart”

it was [Asus]passive-aggres[Em7]sive at the park

and the [D]chick was tellin’ me [Bm] to back off

cuz her [Asus]man had looked at me wrong.

(he looked at me wrong)

If [D]anyone called [Bm] me “honey” (ooh)

it was [Asus]standing in the bath[Em7]room (yeh), white teeth,

they were [D]saying that skirt [Bm] don’t fit me

and I [Asus]cried the whole way home.

(cried the whole way home)

But you can call me “honey” if you want…
