Drifters, The - Honey Love Lyrics






Love me, love me, love me, love me, lo
Love me, love me, love me, love me, lo
Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me
Love me, love me, love me, love me, lo

I need it, I need it when the moon is bright
I need it, I need it when you hold me tight
I need it, I need it in the middle of the night
I need your honey love

I want it, I want it when the lights are low
I want it, I want it just before you go
I want it, I want it because I love you so
Have a little of mercy and give some honey love

Now throw your arms around me
Pretend that you're lovey-dove
Now you squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze
Squeeze, squeeze, ooh, squeeze
That's a honey love

I'm gonna get it, get it in the morning sun
I'm gonna get it, get it when the day is done
I'm gonna get it, get it 'cause it's so much fun
I'm gonna get me some honey love

Yes, I love it, I love it 'cause it feels so fine
I love it, I love it, yes it thrills my spine
I love it, I love it 'cause you're mine all mine
I love your honey love

Love me, love me, love me, love me, lo
Love me, love me, love me, love me, lo
Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me
Love me, love me, love me, love me, lo

Let's you and me get closely
Just like the fingers in a glove
Let's kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss
That's a honey love

Ooh whee, I need it, I need it when the moon is bright
I need it, I need it when you hold me tight
I need it, I need it in the middle of the night
I need honey love

I need, oh yeah, honey love
I need, oh baby, honey love
I need, get it boy, honey love
I need your honey love

    What I've always loved about The Drifters was that they had thick, relatively low-pitched harmony. So many groups tended to have a higher top-end. This gave the Drifters sound a lot of punch. The Jacks of "Why Don't You Write Me" fame had, IMHO, a similar harmony sound.

  16. D.... S....

    Super song, immortal.

    D.... S....

    Tx for the comment David , Jack

  17. s.... ....

    BTW...lead singer was Clyde McPhatter

  25. R.... W....

    Love It!!!!!!!

  26. e.... ....

    Love the early Drifters with Clyde McPhatter, and too their later incarnations!

  27. T.... D....

    One of my all-time favorite early Drifters songs! Aside from the semi-scandalous lyrics (for 1954), I really love the great vocal harmonies and the fact that this sure sounds like West Indian calypso mixed in with R. & B.! The Carlisles, a Country act, did a pretty decent version also in 1954 and so did Frankie Valli and the Four Lovers in 1956 (yes, the Frankie Valli of the group later known as the Four Seasons).

  28. D.... R....

    Mafia Muerta Muetros Salud Slainte

  29. D.... R....

    Mafia III

    D.... R....

    Dude you mean Mafia 2 LOL

  30. c.... ....

    Yup, in Washington D.C. we called Hand Jive by the same name you did in Houston.

  31. r.... c....

    you are right----also remember when some of the houston stations would not play hand jive---a song i liked

  32. J.... P....

    Nothing wrong with worshiping Jesus.

  33. c.... ....

    Whoohoo---this was considered a dirty song and not fit for our lily white ears when I was a teenager. Ha! We fooled our parents and tuned into the R & B station to listen. So glad we did.
    It was and still is fantastic. Ditto for The Drifters.

  34. l.... ....

    Freedom of thought is banned in Tulsa. Anything except thinking about, talking about and worshipping jesus is banned.

  35. f.... j....

    compared to todays music this is TAME! yes sir tame! laschivious indeed!

  36. g.... p....

    yes I had this record and then it was banned. I lived in L A. Also had the single of "333". Withall the moving & such both have disappeared. Trying to find the single of "333". Of course I am 80 yrs Young.

  37. j.... ....

    1954 Memphis police prohibit The Drifters' "Honey Love" from being loaded into jukeboxes, due to what they considered "suggestive lyrics."

  38. D.... ....

    No better than Clyde out in front of The Drifters. This song was actually banned in Boston shortly after it started geting airplay.

  39. S.... P....

    Clyde had such a special voice.maybe the only one ever?

  40. D.... M....

    @skinnyblinddude another great Drifters tune is Three Thirty Three....which is on the Rockin' and Driftin' box set...it was never released as a single because it was more suggestive than Honey Love

  41. b.... ....

    Great version.

  42. T.... I....

    GET IT BOY!

  43. M.... S....

    Great Music from the 50's great job thanks

  44. X.... ....

    its amazing how such a great game can open the eyes of the eyes of a generation to an era such long time ago

  45. t.... ....

    This is still the one...never heard, nor expect to hear, a version as solid (and lascivious) as this...5*****

  46. t.... ....

    Oops, scratch that, he was barely 21 lol but still... so young.

  47. S.... ....

    @packardcaribien lol I heard it on there! But I've always been a fan of the oldies!

  48. P.... ....

    i love this song thanks <3

  49. D.... T....

    No mafia II mentions yet?

    D.... T....

    Mafia 2 brought me here

  50. W.... K....

    @explorermike2001 I agree! Another great track by Clyde and the boys is BIP BAM. These songs have just the right amount of sexual innuendo. Clyde was an amazing vocalist!

  51. s.... ....

    The BEST song by the drifters!!
