Honey Brown

Say it, say it, baby

No, don’t go away

My Honey Brown, lovely barefooted clown

As sweet and wild as honeysuckle vine

Now children would follow every place you would go

Thrill and delight to your one-woman show

How foolish and vain to think that I could change

A girl whose heart was born for the stage

Honey Brown, we were worlds apart

I knew it from the start

That's why I stepped aside and let you go free

Cause Honey Brown, my love was so deep

I used to laugh at your movie magazines

You vowed one day, you'd be on the screen

I'd fight in the streets when folks tried to say

You'd love any man who promised you fame

And then he came in his big shiny car

Took your love from me and broke my heart

Honey Brown, through your tears, you're gonna find

Life can be cruel and so unkind

So Honey Brown, don't let his masquerade

Make a street corner, a street corner your stage

Oh, don't let him do it

Don't let him do it

Oh, Honey

How foolish and vain to think that I could change

A girl whose heart was born for the stage

Honey Brown, girl can't you see

I'll always love you and want you here with me

Honey Brown, I'll be around

You're gonna need me when the tears come down

Oh, Honey, Oh, Honey
