Honey – English Lyrics

• By: Robyn
• Album: Robyn

Lyrics & Translation

Learning a language through music is a journey of emotional and cultural connection, and Robyn's "Honey" is a perfect companion for English learners. The song's lyrics, while seemingly simple, are layered with nuance, exploring the difference between "want" and "need" in the context of desire and healing. Its hypnotic, slower tempo allows you to easily follow along and absorb the vocabulary of sensation and emotion. "Honey" is special because it's more than a pop song; it's a testament to finding sweetness in difficult times, a universal message that resonates beyond language barriers.

[English]

No, you're not gonna get what you need

Baby, I have what you want

Come get your honey

No, you're not gonna get what you need

But baby, I have what you want

Come get your honey

I got your honey, baby

Every colour and every taste

Every breath that whispers your name

It's like emeralds on the pavement

Every colour and every taste

Every breath that whispers your name

It's like emeralds on the pavement

I got your honey, baby

At the heart of some kind of flower

Stuck in glitter, strands of saliva

Won't you get me right where the hurt is?

At the heart of some kind of flower

Stuck in glitter, strands of saliva

Won't you get me right where the hurt is?

Hmm, and the waves come in and they're golden

But down in the deep the honey is sweeter

(Ooh, it is sweeter, baby)

Hmm, and the sun sets on the water

But down in the deep the current is stronger

Oh, yeah

No way, you're not gonna get what you need

But baby, I have what you want

Come get your honey

No way, you're not gonna get what you need (You need)

Baby, I have what you want (What you want)

Come get your honey

I got your honey, baby

Can you open up to the pleasure?

Suck it up inside like a treasure

Let the brightest place be your passion

Can you open up to the pleasure?

Suck it up inside like a treasure

Let the brightest place be your passion

I got your honey, baby

Let go of your doubt, say yes

Let it soak up into the flesh

Never had this kind of nutrition

Let go of your doubts, say yes

Let it soak up into the flesh

Never had this kind of nutrition

Hmm, and the waves come in and they're golden (Golden)

But down in the deep the honey is sweeter (Sweeter, yeah, yeah)

Hmm, and the sun sets on the water

But down in the deep the current is stronger (Deep, baby)

Ooh, it's stronger

No, you're not gonna get what you need

Baby, I have what you want

Come get your honey (I have what you want)

No, you're not gonna get what you need (Get what you need)

Baby, I have what you want (What you want)

Come get your honey, baby (I have what you want)

No, you're not gonna get what you need

But I have what you want

You know that I got it for you, baby

Baby, I have what you want

Ooh, come get your honey, baby

Baby, I have what you want

Come get it, baby
