Let This Day Be

You're shiftless and you're lazy
Just like that hound dog, Daisy
I had when grandma raised me
Honey Chile, when GrannyGot too old to scorn me
Dear old auntie warned me
You sure was no good for me
Honey ChileBut your kiss is sweeter than the cake
That Grandma used to bake
Oh, them sweet little things about ya
Sure enough takes the cakeYou ain't gonna amount to nothing
'Cause you ain't gonna work for nothing
Without you, I'm good for nothing
Honey Chile, honey ChileSure 'bout to drive me wild
And I love you so, can't let go
Now, honey Chile, oh, sugar Chile
I'd walk me a country mile
Just to be with you
It's sad but true, now honey ChileI try to act like a lady
But you've been courtin' Sadie
Your reputation's shady
Honey ChileHey, you even took out Sally
Who lives across the alley
Oh, I've been keeping tally
Honey ChileYou're like the grapes
Upon the vine that went in Granny's wine
'Cause like that home made wine, so sweet
You sure enough drive me out of my mind nowYou ain't nothing but a playboy
Using me for a play toy
You're ruining my pride and joy
Now honey Chile, honey ChileSure 'bout to drive me wild
And I love you so, can't let go
Now honey Chile, oh, sugar Chile
I'd walk me a country mile
Just to be with you
It's sad but true, now honey ChileOoh, listen here nowOne day I'm gonna get stronger
And I won't need you no longer
This feeling will be a goner
Honey ChileHey, now I can't take disgracin'
That ain't the way granny raised me
You're gonna hurt me crazy
Honey Chile, sugar ChileI'd walk me a country mile
Just to be with you
It's sad but true, now honey Chile

And I love you so, can't let go
Now honey Chile, hey, sugar Chile
