Hey! Here I am, And I want you to see, baby. I want to watch you watchin' me in motion, To taste the secret side of me. Every time I look at you, I know You're fighting your emotions. Now you have no choice but to let go And dive into my ocean. [Chorus] Honey for the bees. Sugar never was so sweeeeet. Honey for the bees. Sugar never was so sweet. Yeah. Hold my hand. I'm going to set you free, baby. I'm gonna let fly all over me. Show me a lock; I'll show you the key. Every time you feel like holding back I'm gonna pull you deeper. Always straying from the beaten track, And I will be the reaper. [Chorus x 2] Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar... Every time I look at you I know you're fighting your emotions. Now you have no choice but to let go And dive into my ocean. [Chorus x 2]
