Rating “Honey Don’t” on a scale of 1 to 5 **
- “Honey Don’t” was never released as a single.
- “Honey Don’t ” was part of The Beatles live act since 1962. Early on John Lennon sang the song but they would soon give it to Ringo to sing. They would play it in concert until 1965.
- “Honey Don’t” does not make Rolling Stone’s “The Beatles 100 Greatest Songs” or “100 Best Beatles Songs” by Spignesi and Lewis-neither ranked cover versions and well this song wouldn’t have made it even if they did.
Honey Don’t {Perkins}
Well how come you say you will when you won’t
Say you do, baby, when you don’t?
Let me know honey how you feel
Tell the truth now, is love real?
But ah ah well honey don’t, well honey don’t
Honey don’t, honey don’t, honey don’t I say you will when you won’t, ah ah, honey, don’t
Well I love you, baby, and you ought to know
I like the way you wear your clothes
Everything about you is so doggone sweet
You got that sand all over your feet
But ah ah well honey don’t, honey don’t
Honey don’t, honey don’t, honey don’t
I say you will when you won’t, ah ah, honey, don’t
[Ah, rock on George, one time for me.
I feel fine. I said.]
I feel fine. I said.]
Well sometimes I love you on a Saturday night
Sunday morning you don’t look right
You’ve been out painting the town
Ah ah baby, been stepping around
But ah ah well honey don’t, I said honey don’t
Honey don’t, honey don’t, honey don’t I say you will when you won’t, ah ah, honey, don’t
[Ah, rock on George, for Ringo one time.] Well honey don’t, well honey don’t I say you will when you won’t, ah ah, honey, don’t
