[Intro]
Oh-oh, honey got me hooked on you (I like that)
Oh, oh, honey got me hooked on you
I like that
Oh, oh
La da da da da da da da, da da (Yeah)
La da da da da da da da, la da da da da
La da da da da da da da, da da da da da
La da da da da da da da
La da da da da, da da da da

[Verse 1]
Oh honey, you can have me when you want me
If you simply ask me to be there
And you're the only one who makes me come runnin'
'Cause what you got is far beyond compare, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's just like honey
When your love comes over me
Oh baby, I've got a dependency
Always strung out for another taste of your honey

[Chorus]
It's like honey when it washes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dyin' (Dyin') for ya, cryin' (Cryin') for ya, I adore ya
One hit of your love addicted me
Now I'm strung out on you, darlin', don't you see?
Every night and day
I can hardly wait for another taste of honey

[Post-Chorus]
Honey, I can't describe (La da da da da da)
How good it feels inside (La da da da da da)
Honey, I can't describe (La da da da da da)
How good it feels inside (La da da da da da)

[Verse 2]
I can't be elusive with you, honey
'Cause it's blatant that I'm feelin' you
And it's too hard for me to leave abruptly
'Cause you're the only thing I wanna do

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's just like honey
When your love comes over me
Oh baby, I've got a dependency
Always strung out for another taste of your honey (Oh, honey)

[Chorus]
It's like honey when it washes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dyin' for ya, cryin' for ya, I adore ya (I need you bad)
One hit of your love addicted me (Ooh, your love addicted me)
Now I'm strung out on you, darlin', don't you see? (I can't wait for another)
Every night and day
I can hardly wait for another taste of honey

[Break]
(Baby, I can hardly wait)
Honey, I can't describe
How good it feels inside (Gotta have another taste)
Honey I can't describe (I gotta have you now, come on, baby)
(I need your honey right now) How good it feels inside
(Come sweet to me with your honey)

[Breakdown]
Every little thing you do (I like that)
Oh-oh, honey got me hooked on you

[Chorus]
It's like honey when it washes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet (Oh sugar, you know)
And I'm dyin' for ya, cryin' for ya, I adore ya
(Oh, I need your love right now, baby)
One hit of your love addicted me
Now I'm strung out on you, darlin', don't you see?
Every night and day
I can hardly wait for another taste of honey
(I need a taste of honey)
It's like honey when it rushes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dyin' for ya, cryin' for ya, I adore ya (Honey, I)
One hit of your love addicted me
Now I'm strung out on you, darling, don't you see?
Every night and day (Oh honey, I)
I can hardly wait for another taste of honey (Honey, I)
It's like honey when it rushes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dyin' for ya, cryin' for ya, I adore ya
One hit of your love addicted me
Now I'm strung out on you, darling, don't you see?
Every night and day
I can hardly wait for another taste of honey

Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
