Honey Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Cantabile 

Cover art for Honey lyrics by Erykah Badu

The lines "I'm in love wit a bumble bee" "You runnin' from me" and "look for you all over town/ but you gave me the run around" suggest that this song is about a woman who's after a man that won't give her the time of day, playing hard to get, aloof. But the attraction is so strong she keeps going after him anyways, and perhaps he is giving her mixed signals because of the lines "Wanna know if ya feelin' me/ Ooh Slim boy ya killin' me." One second he acts like he likes her, the next he's flying away again like a bumble bee.
