You don't even know my name You've got me on a ball and chain, When you gonna notice me God, you're such a little tease When you gonna finally land it on my lips When you gonna give me just a little sip You're a honeybee, honeybee Honeybee, you're killing me You don't even know my name I guess I ought to be ashamed Going on the way I do Watching you in everything When you gonna give me just a little kick Music in your heart and lying on your lips You're a honeybee, honeybee Honeybee, you're killing me It's hard to stumble in your harmonies But just like nicotine and it gets complicated You keep on pouring on the gasoline And it's the sweetest feeling, oh it gets me, gets me down You don't even know my name How am I gonna reign you in Tramping everything you see You don't own everything When you gonna give me just a little hit When you gonna give me just a little bit You're a honeybee, honeybee Oh, honeybee, it's killing me You're killing me, honeybee You're killing me, my honeybee It's killing me

    General Comment:The first poster had it right. She's mildly infatuated with a guy who she's never met. Basically, she just wants to do him. LOVE THIS SONG.

    General Comment:I can't believe nobody has commented on this BLM b-side yet! It's way awesome!

    The meaning is kinda obvious. It's about this person she does not know anything about, who she finds to be incredibly attractive. Even though they've never met before, he turns her on, and she obviously wants to do him...

    God, I love me some Shirl!!
