"Honey" lyrics
"Honey"
You can call me "Honey" if you want
Because I'm the one you want
Mmm-mmm
When anyone called me "Sweetheart'
It was passive aggressive
At the bar
And the bitch was telling me to back off
'Cause her man had looked at me wrong
If anyone called me "Honey"
It was standing in the bathroom
White teeth
They were saying that skirt don't fit me
And I cried the whole way home
But you touch my face
Redefine all of those blues
When you say
"Honey"
Summertime spritz, pink skies
You can call me "Honey" if you want
Because I'm the one you want
Wintergreen kiss, all mine
You give it different meaning 'cause you mean it when you talk
Honey, I'm home, we can play house
We can bed down, pick me up, who's the baddest in the land? What's the plan? (What's the plan?)
You could be my forever-night stand
Honey
When anyone called me "Sweetheart"
It was passive aggressive
At the bar
And the bitch was telling me to back off
'Cause her man had looked at me wrong
If anyone called me "Honey"
It was standing in the bathroom
White teeth
They were saying that skirt don't fit me
And I cried the whole way home
But you touch my face
Redefine all of those blues
When you say
You can call me "Honey" if you want
Because I'm the one you want
I'm the one you want
You give it different meaning
'Cause you mean it when you talk
Sweetie, it's yours, kicking in doors, take it to the floor, gimme more
Buy the paint in the color of your eyes (Of your eyes)
And graffiti my whole damn life
Honey
When anyone called me late night
He was screwing around with my mind
Asking, "What are you wearing?" Too high
To remember in the morning
And when anyone called me "Lovely"
They were finding ways not to praise me
But you say it like you're in awe of me
And you stay until the morning
Honey
When anyone called me "Sweetheart"
It was passive aggressive
At the bar
And the bitch was telling me to back off
'Cause her man had looked at me wrong (He looked at me wrong)
If anyone called me "Honey"
It was standing in the bathroom (Yeah)
White teeth
They were saying that skirt don't fit me
And I cried the whole way home (Cried the whole way home)
But you can call me "Honey" if you want

According to "The Life Of A Showgirl"'s track-by-track version, 'Honey' is a song about how words that have been meant to hurt you in the past can be repurposed by someone who loves you in a way that feels totally different. You know, if the only time you were called 'honey' was when someone was like, 'That look is not working for you, honey.' Like, that is very different than when somebody calls you 'honey' in a sweet way, in a sincere way, in a lovely way. And it's kind of about sort of the idea of healing these old wounds that were caused by certain words that now feel totally lovely and sweet."
