Every honey bee sighs with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them, goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose

When we're passin by
Flowers droop and sigh
And I know the reason why
You're much sweeter, goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose

Don't buy sugar
I just have to touch your cup
You're my sugar
It's sweet when you stir it up

When I'm takin sips
From your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection, goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose

Every honey bee sighs with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them, goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

When we're passin by
Flowers droop and sigh
And I know the reason why
You're confection, goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose

Don't buy sugar
I just have to touch your cup
You're my sugar
It's sweet when you stir it up

When I'm takin sips
From your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection, goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

Robert Allen Palmer (19 January 1949 – 26 September 2003) was an English singer-songwriter[1] and musician. He was known for his distinctive soulful voice, eclectic mix of musical styles on his albums, combining soul, jazz, rock, pop, reggae and blues and sartorial acumen. He found success both in his solo career and with the Power Station, and had Top 10 songs in both the UK and the US.

His iconic music videos directed by British fashion photographer Terence Donovan for the hits “Addicted to Love” and “Simply Irresistible” featured identically dressed dancing women with pale faces, dark eye makeup and bright red lipstick, which resembled the women in the art of Patrick Nagel, an artist popular in the 1980s. Palmer’s involvement in the music industry commenced in the 1960s, covered four decades and included a spell with Vinegar Joe.
