Donna
Honey-Don't List
(v1)
Your list of complaints
Is ten feet long
It's got me confused
Don't know what I did wrong
'Cause, everything I do
[And] everything I say
Gets me a putdown
You want your own way
Chorus
It's honey-don't that
[And] honey-don't this
[Seems] all I do is against your wish
Girl, can't you see I'm an ordinary guy
A lot more loose than cool
And your endless honey-don't list
Is' makin' me feel like a fool
(v2)
From the very start
You said don't laugh loud
[Then] don't try to kiss me
If we're [out] in a crowd
[And] don't you be late
When you're picking me up
Don't keep on drinking
If you'd had enough
Chorus
It's honey-don't that
[And] honey-don't this
[Seems] all I do is against your wish
Girl, can't you see I'm an ordinary guy
A lot more loose than cool
And your endless honey-don't list
Is makin' me feel like a fool
Bridge
I'm trying to be a better man
Cut me some slack, can you understand
A honey-DO list would be a bible to me
But these honey-don'ts are like captivity
Chorus
It's honey-don't that
[And] honey-don't this
[Seems] all I do is against your wish
Girl, can't you see I'm an ordinary guy
A lot more loose than cool
And your endless honey-don't list
Is makin' me feel like a fool
Outro
[Guess] I'm fed up with your honey-don't
[If] you don't like what I offer
Well honey I won't
