Honey Chile lyrics - Jackson 5

(originally by Martha Reeves & the Vandellas)

It was there on my grandma's farm

Where the grapes grew high on the vine

Yeah, that's where we first met little girl

But you ain't gonna amount to nothing

'Cause you ain't gonna work for nothing

Without you I ain't good for nothing, honey chile

Oh honey chile, you're sure about to drive me wild

And I love you so, can't let go now honey chile

Oh, sugar chile, I'd walk me a country mile

Just to be with you if that were true but honey chile

You don't act like a lady

'Cause you've been courting Davie

Its reputation shady oh honey chile

Hey you even went out with Callie

That night across the alley

Oh, I've been keeping tally honey chile

You're like grapes upon the vine

That went in granny's wine

'Cause like that home-made wine so sweet

You're sure enough driving me out of my mind now

Your friends with every playboy

Using me for a play toy

You ruined my pride and joy now honey chile

Oh honey chile, sure about to drive me wild

And I love you so, can't let go now honey chile

Oh, sugar chile, I'd walk me a country mile

Just to be with you if that were true of honey chile

Why don't you put on your shoes little girl

Then I can kiss you

Oh listen here now

One day I'm gonna get stronger

And I won't need you no longer

This feeling will be gone oh honey chile

Hey, I can't take disgracing

That ain't the way grandma raised me

You're gonna hurt me crazy honey chile

Hey, sugar chile, I'd walk me a country mile

Just to be with you if that were true of honey chile

Hey honey chile, sure about to drive me wild

And I love you so, can't let go now honey chile
