The girl's got my heart and my love's comin' down on me
Am D7 G
My life's kinda mellow since I got a taste of wild honey
Verse 2:
You know she's got the sweetness of a honey bee
Wild honey, she got it hard and stung me good, yessirree

Verse 3:
Wild honey, oh let me tell you how she really got to my soul
It ain't funny the way she makes me want to sing a little
rock 'n roll
There's nothing quite as sweet as a taste of wild honey
I break my back workin' just to save me some money
So I can spend my life with her... sock it to me, wild honey

- From Wild Honey (1967). A deliberate turn away from the orchestral complexity of Pet Sounds. Brian Wilson cited Stevie Wonder as his inspiration — a rawer, more organic soul-influenced approach.
