"Bonnie" lyrics

"Bonnie"

You wore that slippery dress like, mmm
Lord knows I was trying my best not to, mmm
Lips like deep red wine had me hanging on the old clothesline
You wore that slippery dress like, mmm

It's been a long, long time
It's been a long, lonely time
Since I've seen your pretty little smile
My heart's been dripping like a sweet honeycomb
Won't love another till I come back home
It's been a long time on my own

You took that money and ya stuffed it down your, mmm
Sweet thing, like honey, just begging me to, mmm
To throw those bank doors wide, baby, and put that gear in drive
You took that money and ya stuffed it down your, mmm

It's been a long, long time
It's been a long, lonely time
Since I've seen your pretty little smile
My heart's been dripping like a sweet honeycomb
Won't love another till I come back home
It's been a long time on my own

You slipped that pistol from your hips like, mmm
You hushed those ruby-red lips like, mmm
Fingerprints looking like mine had me running for the county line
You slipped that pistol from your hips like, mmm

It's been a long, long time
It's been a long, lonely time
Since I've seen your pretty little smile
My heart's been dripping like a sweet honeycomb
Won't love another till I come back home
It's been a long time on my own
It's been a long time on my own
It's been a long time on my own
