Honey Don’t Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, how come you say you will when you won't?
Say you do, baby, when you don't?
Let me know, honey, how you feel
Tell the truth now, is love real?

[Chorus]
But, ah, ah, well, honey, don't
Well, honey, don't, honey, don't
Honey, don't, honey, don't
I say you will when you won't, ah, ah, honey, don't

[Verse 2]
Well, I love you, baby, and you ought to know
I like the way that you wear your clothes
Everything about you is so doggone sweet
You got that sand all over your feet

[Chorus]
But, ah, ah, well, honey, don't
Honey, don't, honey, don't
Honey, don't, honey, don't
I say you will when you won't, ah, ah, honey, don't
Ah, rock on, George, one time for me!

[Guitar Solo]
I feel fine
Mmm-hmm
I said
[Verse 3]
Well, sometimes I love you on a Saturday night
Sunday morning you don't look right
You've been out paintin' the town
Ah, ah, baby, been stepping around

[Chorus]
But, ah, ah, well, honey, don't
I said, honey, don't, honey, don't
Honey, don't, honey, don't
I say you will when you won't, ah, ah, honey, don't
Ah, rock on, George, for Ringo, one time

[Guitar Solo]
(Woo!)

[Outro]
Well, honey, don't, well, honey, don't
A-little, little honey, don't
I say you will when you won't, ah, ah, honey, don't

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
