美國靈魂樂天后［艾瑞莎．富蘭克林］──靈魂／流行抒情曲──［Honey／蜜糖］

Mmm...

Oh... Ooh... Ooh... Ooh... Ooh... Ooh... Ooh...

I gave you my heart

And I gave you my time

I gave you all of my money

Anything to keep you satisfy, yeah, yeah

But the one thing I didnt count on

Is that you would do me so bad

If theres one thing I know I love you for sure

I dont understand why did you treat me so bad

Honey (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Honey baby (Honey baby)

Honey

Why do I love you so much

Honey

Why do I love you so much (Tell me, tell me, baby)

Honey

Honey baby

Honey

Why do I love you so much

Honey

Why do I love you so much (Oh...)

I gave you the world, baby

Anything that your heart desires

And I didnt ask for one thing in return

I was there for you right down to the wire

So whyd you have to draw me, baby

You did everything again

And where its comin from, and I still cant let go

Im losin my hair and I dont understand

Honey (Honey)

Honey baby (Honey baby)

Honey

Why do I love you so much

Honey

Why do I love you so much (Whoa, baby)

Honey

Honey baby

Honey

Why do I love you so much

Honey (Oh... Oh...)

Why do I love you so much

I can understand if it wasnt good enough

I was too good to the end, much too good for you

Other folks say you just aint no good

I try to let go, but I still need to know

Honey

Honey baby (Oh... Oh... Oh... Oh...)

Honey

Why do I love you so much (Somebody tell me)

Honey (Oh...)

Why do I love you so much (Oh... Oh... Oh... Oh...)

Honey (Honey)

Honey baby

Honey (Honey)

Why do I love you so much (So much)

Honey (So much, oh... Yes)

Why do I love you so much (Love me, love me, love me, love me)

Honey (Oh)

Honey baby (And I get weak when I see you)

Honey (Mmm, hmm)

Why do I love you so much (Why do)

Honey

Why do I love you so much

Honey (Yeah)

Honey baby (Honey baby)

Honey (Honey)

１９８０年　美國靈魂樂夫人艾瑞莎富蘭克林（Aretha Franklin）與Arista公司簽約　成功東山再起

１９９４年初　富蘭克林獲頒葛萊美終生持就獎

３月　５２歲的艾瑞莎發行精選輯［Greatest Hits：1980-1994］, 收錄在新東家的名曲　以及三首新歌（外加一首舊曲新版）

首支主打［A Deeper Love］在美國反應差強人意　但在英國卻成為Top５暢銷曲

第二主打［Willing to Forgive／願意原諒］

登上美國單曲榜＃２６　（副榜──R&B榜＃５　成人抒情榜＃２２）　英國＃１７

１９９４年初　艾瑞莎推出大碟第三主打［Honey／蜜糖］

此曲由娃娃臉（Babyface）創作

他與 L.A. Reid, Daryl Simmons 共同製作

跟［Willing to Forgive］一樣　這是首中板R&B抒情曲, 富蘭克林以溫柔的靈魂唱腔詮釋這首情歌

只是［Honey］反應不如前者　並沒打入美國Billboard單曲榜　只登上副榜──R&B榜＃３０

不過仍助益精選輯［Greatest Hits：1980-1994］長賣成百萬白金唱片

而且耐聽程度也跟［Willing to Forgive］不相上下
