The Beach Boys - Wild Honey Lyrics






Wild Honey

Sweet sweet wild honey bee
Eat up eat up eat up honey

Mama I'm tellin' you as sure as I'm standing here
She's my girl and that's the way I'm keeping it now mama dear
No good will it do you to stand there and frown at me
The girl's got my heart and my love's coming down on me
My love's coming down since I got a taste of wild honey
You know she's got the sweetness of a honey bee
Wild honey
She got it on and stung me good yes sirree

With all the other stud bees buzzing all around her hive
She singled me out single handed took me alive
Well can you can you gonna take my life eating up her wild honey

(Sweet sweet wild honey bee)
(Eat up eat up eat up honey)

Oh mama she's sweeter
Gettin' sweeter
Sweeter sweeter
Sweet

Wild honey
Let me tell you how she really got to my soul
It ain't funny
The way she make wanna sing a little rock 'n' roll
There's nothing quite nice as a kiss of wild honey
I break my back workin' just to save me some money
So I can spend my life with her
Sock it to me wild honey
Wild honey she's mine
Wild honey she's mine

Arent You Glad

Today could be a lot of fun
And precious one
I'd feel good just to walk with you

Tonight will be a special treat
You're so sweet
And I feel good just to talk with you

You know that I been a long time needing you
You say that you been a long time needing me
And don't you know that there's so much more to come

I got a heart that just won't stop beating for you
I got a love I just can't stop feeling for you

Aren't you glad now darling there's me and you
(Tell me tell me you know what I mean) [me and you]
And I say aren't you glad with these days comes somethin' new
(Tell me tell me you know what I mean) [me and you]
And I say aren't you glad now tell me you're so glad
[Me and you]

(Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
Today is another day
Another way to get this feeling across to you
Tonight will be another night
That's outta sight cause I know the way to get close to you

You know that I'll be a long time loving you
I hope that you'll be a long time loving me
And don't you know that there's so much more to come

I got a heart that just won't stop beating for you
I got a love I just can't stop feeling for you

Aren't you glad now darling there's me and you

I Was Made To Love Her

(Hey hey yes I was made to love her)
I was born in Little Rock
Had a childhood sweetheart
We were always hand in han-an-an-an-and

I wore high-top shoes and shirt-tails
Suzy was in pigtails
I knew I loved her even then

(Hey hey yes I was made to love her)
Don't you know my Papa dis'proved
My Mama hooo-ooo-hoooed it
But I told them time and time again

(Hey hey yes I was made to love her)
Don't you know I was made to love her
Built my world all around her
Hey hey hey

(Hey hey yes I was made to love her)
She's been my inspiration
Showed appreciation
For the love I gave her through the years

(Hey hey yes I was made to love her)
Like a sweet magnolia tree
My love blossomed tenderly
My life grows sweeter through the years

(Hey hey yes I was made to love her)
I know that my baby loves me
My baby needs me
That's why we made it through the years

(Hey hey yes I was made to love her)
I was made to love her
Worship and adore her
Hey hey hey

(Hey hey yes I was made to love her)
My little baby loves me
My baby needs me
And I know I ain't goin' nowhere

I was knee-high to a chimp
And the love bug bit me
And I have to be with her a thousand years

(Hey hey yes I was made to love her)
If the mountain tumbles
If this whole world crumbles
I know I'll still be standing there

(Hey hey yes I was made to love her)
'Cause I was made to love her
I was made to live for her
Hey hey hey

(Hey hey yes I was made to love her)

Get a breath of that country air
Breathe the beauty of it everywhere
Get a look at that clear blue sky

Breathe the beauty of it everywhere
Rise up early the day won't let you sleep

A Thing Or Two

When I see my baby
When I see my little girl
When I see my woman
I'm gonna tell her about the lonely hours I just spent
And say the thing we got going hope it never ends
Well I'm gonna tell that little girl a thing or two

Do it right baby
(Do it right baby)
Ahhh haaa
Outta sight baby
Ahhh-ha ha
Do it right baby
(Do it right baby)
Ahhh haaa

When I see my baby
When I look in her pretty eyes
When I get with my darling baby
I say my heart will start to beat like a couple of drums
She'll get my temperature to rise to 'bout a hundred and one

(Yeah)
Do it right baby
(Do it right baby)
Ahhh haaa
Outta sight baby
Ahhh-ha ha
Do it right baby
(Do it right baby)
Ahhh haaa

A whole day away from your woman
A separation from your girl can really mess your mind
And can you dig this one thing
Well it's lucky I'm working from nine to five
I have to live with my doctors just to keep me alive
Keep on tellin' a thing or two

Do it right baby
(Do it right baby)
Ahhh haaa
Outta sight baby
Ahhh-ha ha
Do it right baby
(Do it right baby)
Ahhh haaa

Id Love Just Once To See You

I'm doing this and I'm doing that
And I'm a-walking the floor
I drink a little of this and eat a little that
And poke my head out the door

I get thinking I'm wasting the night away
I wouldn't mind if I could get with you right away
Oh honey don't know how long it's been
But this feeling's building up inside again

I wash the dishes and I rinsed up the sink
Like a busy bee
I make up a song as I'm a-working along
No one's watching me

I wish that you were here to help me dry
When's the last time you baked me a pie
You had a way of making it come alive
It's not too late for you to take a drive

(Baah ba ba ba baah ba ba)
(Baah ba ba ba baah ba ba)

It's not too late
I'd love just once to see you
I'd love just once to see you
I'd love just once to see you
In the nude

Here Comes The Night

My heart was breakin'
Till you started making me
Feel like a natural man
My mind was mess
Until you brought happiness
And that's not hard to understand
When I'm through workin'
Just fussin' and cussin'
I'll be there just as quick as I can

Here comes the night
Hold me squeeze me don't ever leave me
Tell me I'm doin' alright
Hold me squeeze me don't ever leave me
Tell me I'm doin' alright
Hold me love me ooooo

I know livin' is takin' and givin'
Baby I'm givin' you my best
One of these days you know
I'm gonna go crazy
In the middle of your caress
When the day goes down
Honey I'll be around
Why don't you wear your pretty red dress

Here comes the night
Hold me squeeze me don't ever leave me
Tell me I'm doin' alright
Hold me squeeze me don't ever leave me
Tell me I'm doin' alright
Hold me love me ooooo

Every mornin' our love is reborn
And it lives with me all day long
Things start changin'
Take as a little rearrangin'
But our love grows on and on
Stars who shine in love
Are making you mine to love
I've never felt a love so strong

Here comes the night
Hold me squeeze me don't ever leave me
Tell me I'm doin' alright
Hold me squeeze me don't ever leave me
Tell me I'm doin' alright
Hold me love me ooooo

Let The Wind Blow

Let the wind blow
Let the grass grow
But don't let her go

Don't take her out of my life
Don't take her out of my life

Let the moon glow
(Let the moon glow)
(On the fallen snow)
On the fallen snow
(Let the moon glow)
(On the fallen snow)

But I just got to know
(Let me please know oh oh oh)
Know she'll be a part of my life
Know she'll be a part of my life
Forever

Let the bees make honey
Let the poor find money
Take away their sorrows
Give them sunshine tomorrow

But don't take her out of my life
Don't take her out of my life
What would I do without her tell me now

Let the bird sing
With the coming spring
Let the church bells ring
Let the rain fall
Let the grass grow
Let the moon glow
On the fallen snow

But don't take her out of my life
Please keep her a part of my life

How She Boogalooed It

Oh we was dancing in a really big city
Got excited by the sound of a party
Now my heart beat while the music was groovin'
And if you wanted to you couldn't keep from movin'
Look around do you believe what you seein'
The walls are movin' the ceiling's a-reelin'
Couples over in the corner romancin'

Oh the boys are with me to do some outta sight dancin'
Gotta girl givin' me some lessons
And now she's gonna be my confession
Aren't you glad we found our way in here
Put another record up on the player

Hey there's a stoned party dancin' with the police
Don't have to worry about disturbing the peace
Met a fine chick that really got to me
Good Lord how she boogalooed to me
Oh my how she boogalooed it to me
Come on sock it sock it to me

S-O-C-K I-T to me

Wild Honey is the thirteenth studio album by the American rock band the Beach Boys, released on December 18, 1967, by Capitol Records. It was the group's first foray into soul music and was heavily influenced by the R&B of Motown and Stax Records. The album was the band's worst-selling at that point, charting at number 24 in the US. Lead single "Wild Honey" peaked at number 31, while its follow-up "Darlin'" reached number 19. In the UK, the album peaked at number seven.

The album's sessions began immediately after the recording of Lei'd in Hawaii, a failed live album, and the release of Smiley Smile, their previous LP. Like Smiley Smile, Wild Honey's core instrumental combo consists of organ, honky-tonk piano, and electric bass. The Beach Boys were inspired to regroup as a self-contained rock band, partly in response to critical assertions that they were "ball-less choir boys". They also purposefully distanced themselves from the prevailing rock trends of the time, which had been typified by psychedelia and high-scale recording or thematic conceits.

It was the second album to credit "the Beach Boys" as producer. At his request, bandmate Carl Wilson began contributing more to the recording process, a trend that continued on subsequent albums. Mike Love also returned as Brian's main songwriting collaborator for the first time since Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!) (1965).

Wild Honey presaged a back-to-basics approach that was subsequently adopted by the Beach Boys' contemporaries, including Bob Dylan and the Beatles, and it is credited with pioneering the DIY pop genre. Most critics initially disregarded the record, but after the mid-1970s, a greater appreciation formed around its simplicity and charm. In 1979, the track "Here Comes the Night" was redone by the group as a disco single. In 2020, Wild Honey was ranked number 410 on Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time”. A remixed and expanded edition, titled 1967 - Sunshine Tomorrow, was released in 2017.
