You can call me “honey” if you want because I’m the one you want.

When anyone called me “sweetheart”
it was passive-aggressive at the park
and the chick was tellin’ me to back off
cuz her man had looked at me wrong.
If anyone called me “honey”
it was standing in the bathroom, white teeth,
they were saying that skirt don’t fit me
and I cried the whole way home.
But you touched my face,
redefined all of those blues
when you say “honey.”
Summertime spritz, pink skies –
you can call me “honey” if you want because I’m the one you want.
Wintergreen kiss, all mine –
you give it different meaning cuz you mean it when you talk.
Honey I’m home, we could play house,
we can calm down, pick me up,
who’s the baddest in the land? What’s the plan? (what’s the plan?)
You could be my forever best friend, honey.

Sweetie it’s yours, kickin’ in doors,
take it to the floor, give me more.
Buy the paint in the color of your eyes
(of your eyes)
and graffiti my entire life, honey.
When anyone called me late night
he was messin’ around with my mind
askin’, “what are you doin’?”, too tired,
to remember in the mornin’.
And when anyone called me “lovely”
they were finding ways not to praise me,
but you say it like you’re in awe of me
and you stay until the morning, honey.

If anyone called me “honey” (ooh)
it was standing in the bathroom (yeh), white teeth,
they were saying that skirt don’t fit me
and I cried the whole way home.
