The Honey Dewdrops - Test of Time

Hey Baby, the livin’s easy enough
got you giving me all your love
There’s just sometimes, we have to weather the storm
I’d give everything I got so we can’t be torn

Hey Honey, what could I do without you?
You’ve got me spinning ‘round in circles all night through
When times are hard, got me thinkin’ ‘bout the days gone by
I remember why we’re together ‘til the day we die

What a fickle thing to feel inside
When your other half isn’t along for the ride
The lies you told, the fights you fought, they ain’t no crime
‘cause you’ve got the love that stands the test of time

Sugar, Sugar, you give me sugar all the time
You give me something sweet to ease my troubled mind
When I get lonesome, ‘cause you’re making me feel blue
All I need is the sweetest love I ever knew

What a fickle thing to feel inside
When your other half isn’t along for the ride
The lies you told, the fights you fought, they ain’t no crime
‘cause you’ve got the love that stands the test of time
‘cause you’ve got the love that stands the test of time
