## Background

In an interview with *Genius*, Danielle Haim said:

> "Honey and I is one of the older songs that we have and, um, that song was actually written from the guitar- I remember, kind of, being at my house about two and a half years ago and we all just were trying to write everyday and I distinctly remember sitting down and just playing three chords and the verse melody kind of just kind of came to us and it was really like a natural, really just like a natural way of writing. Just kind of like with the guitar in the living room and stomping and clapping and, you know, that's how we kinda came up with it. Just the demo is kind of similar to how it sounds now."

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

Goodnight

I know there's nothing good in goodbye

But you lead me to no other line

No other line

Eyes wild

When you walked through the door

You made your way across the floor

And all the little girls had to try their turns

Try their turns

**[Pre-Chorus]**

No, no, no, no

See, I'm not afraid no more

(I'm not afraid no more)

To turn you away no more

(Turn you away no more)

To turn you away, to turn you away

**[Chorus]**

'Cause my honey and I, yeah, yeah

My honey and I

My honey and I

My honey and I

D-doing just-a fine now

Honey and I (Honey and I)

My honey and I

My honey and I

My honey and I

D-doing just-a fine now

**[Verse 2]**

Oh, no, no, no, no, no

No, no

I don't love you just because

Love wasn't what I thought it once was

But I thought it once was

Telling each other everything

Picking out your wedding rings

No, now I know and now I see

I'm not afraid no more

No, no, no, no, no, no

**[Pre-Chorus]**

So why are you always trying to stay at home?

(Why are you staying there?)

This song can't be played alone

(This song can't be played alone)

It was made to be played with my

**[Chorus]**

Honey and I, yeah, yeah

My honey and I

My honey and I

My honey and I

D-doing just-a fine now

Honey and I (Honey and I)

My honey and I

My honey and I

My honey and I

D-doing just-a fine now

**[Bridge]**

Oh oh (oh oh)

Oh oh (oh oh)

Oh oh (oh oh)

Oh oh (oh oh)

Ha, ha, ha, yeah

Oh oh (oh oh)

Oh oh (oh oh)

Oh oh (oh oh)

Oh oh (oh oh)

Ah, ha, ha, yeah

**[Build-Up]**

My, my, my honey and I

My, my, my honey and I

My, my, my honey and I

My, my, my honey and I

My, my, my honey and I (oh)

My, my, my honey and I (oh)

My, my, my honey and I (oh)

My, my, my honey and I

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Oh, no, no, no

See, I'm not afraid no more

No more, to turn you away

To turn you away

'Cause my...

No, no, no, no, no, no

**[Chorus]**

D-doing just-a fine now

Honey and I

My honey and I

My honey and I

My honey and I

D-doing just-a fine now

D-doing just-a fine now
