Honeypot Lyrics
Well I got some flowers coming in
Got some friends who all call me Jim
But you can call me honeypot
'Cause I like you a lot
Yeah, yeah
I'm the real thing, oh baby
I ain't no boy king, no baby
I'm a real man, honey
I don't need my mama's money
But it don't hurt, no it don't hurt
I got a heart lost in kindness
A mind that's mostly mindless
I can hold you up for air
I won't let you down, I swear
I have burnt down my past
I'm lost, I'm built to last
I'm built to break but that's OK
Got a boat down by the lake
We can go there, we can go there
We can go there when you want
We can go there baby
Well I know it's hard to tell
But I can save you from this spell
I can help you get right through
Stick around like superglue
Dig them ghosts up from the grave
Throw them bones into the waves
Oh baby you don't have to worry
I"m built for comfort not for hurry
I got a heart lost in kindness
A mind that's mostly mindless
I can hold you up for air
I won't let you down, I swear
I have burnt down my past
I'm lost, I'm built to last
I'm built to break but that's OK
I got a place down by the lake
We can go there whenever you want
We can go there, yeah
Everybody sing
la la la la
la la la la la

Everybody sing

I have no idea who Bob Schneider is, but I just heard this song the other day and it won't leave me alone now. Or rather, I can't leave it alone.
The recurring water element in the lyrics stands out in my head, so that by the end of the song I'm expecting everybody is gonna break out singing "Old Man River" during the la-la portion of it.
I can hold you up for air I won't let you down I swear
I wonder if that "boat down by the lake" is a lifeboat... :)
Well, the lyrics above are not for "Honeypot" but another great Schneider song "Big Blue Sea". IMHO - this is simply a love song but an incredibly heartfelt one. I'm the real thing honey, I don't need my mama's money but it don't hurt no it don't hurt. ~take what you can get and work with it Dig them ghosts up from the grave, throw the bones into the waves ~echoes of past relationships that you do not need to hang on to anymore.
Bob is an incredible lyricist, I can only guess at my interpretation but I love his music.
@brett11528 The lyrics are for Honeypot, not Big Blue Sea.
