Well how come you say you will when you won’t?,
Say you do baby when you don’t?
Let me know honey how you fell,
Tell the truth now, is love real. ah. ah. ha

Well honey don’t, well honey don’t,
Honey don’t, honey don’t, honey don’t
I say you will when you won’t ah, ha honey don’t.

Well I love you baby and you oughta know
I like the way that you wear your clothes,
If it’s a batch you wear so dog on sweet
You got that sand all over your feet. ah. ah. ha

Well, honey don’t, honey don’t,
Honey don’t, honey don’t, honey don’t
I say you will when you won’t ah, ha honey don’t.

Ah, rock on yours one time for me
Ah, pretty fine

I’ll say
Well sometimes I’ll love you on a Saturday night,
Sunday morning you don’t look right,
You been out painting the town
Ah-ha baby been steppin’ around oh, ha

Well, honey don’t, I said honey don’t,
Honey don’t, honey don’t, honey don’t
I say you will when you won’t ah, ha honey don’t.

Well honey don’t, well honey don’t
I say you will when you won’t ah, ha honey don’t.
