A Taste of Honey Lyrics by The Temptations

In a Mellow Mood

1967

[Verse 1]
Winds may blow over the icy sea
I'll take with me the warmth of thee
A taste of honey (Just a little bit, just a taste)
Much sweeter than wine
(Don't you know honey's so much sweeter)
[Verse 2]
I'll leave behind my heart to wear
And may it e'er remind you of
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wine
(A little bit sweeter, and you show it)
(You got me goin' and you know it)
[Bridge]
I will return
I'll return
I'll come back for the honey and you
(Sweeter, sweeter, so much sweeter)
[Verse 3]
He ne'er came back to his love so fair
And so she died dreaming of his kiss
His kiss of honey
A taste more bitter than wine
(Sweeter, sweeter, so much sweeter)
(He never came back again for her)
[Bridge]
I will return
I will return
I'll come back for the honey and you
[Outro]
A taste of honey
A taste of honey
(I've got to have)
A taste of honey
(Just a little taste of honey)
A taste of honey
