Well,  A Fool And His Honey, are soon parted, ’n’ I found that out the hard way last night
    My honey left me brokenhearted,  When she up and told this fool, goodbye
     
My honey was the root of all evil. My friends said, boy, don’t listen to her lies
            But she broke my heart into a thousand pieces,  Even though I’ve heard it said a million times

That A Fool And His Honey are soon parted
’n’ I found that out the hard way last night
My honey left me brokenhearted
When she up and told this fool, goodbye
                                                                                                                                                           
And if honey changes everything like some folks say it do,  
then why’am’I stuck here lovin’ someone never once been true, hoo-hoo-hoo, yeah!

Yes, they say that honey talks and they ain’t lyin’, ‘cause she talked up every pretty boy in town
 I wouldn’t hurt this bad if I was dyin’,  Instead I’m cryin’ like some sad and foolish clown

‘cause A Fool And His Honey are soon parted
’n’ I found that out the hard way last night - (Yes, I did) 
My honey left me brokenhearted
When she up and told this fool, goodbye

Yeah she up and told this fool goodbye…

“mm-mm-mm. It’s true - honey don’t buy happiness. I can state that unequivocally …for certain!”
