Lyrics

[Spoken Intro]
- Hey, looka there
- Where, man?
- Over there
- Wow
*Whistles*
- Man, that's such a sweet thing, shucks, mmm, mmm, mmm

[Verse 1]
You just go from man to man
I just don’t seem to understand
Why you’re so very hard to take
You sweet sticky thing
If I could slow you down sometime
I’d like to try and change your mind
You’re really not the one to blame
You sweet sticky thing

[Chorus]
Sweet, sweet sticky thing
Sweet, sweet sticky thing
Sweet, sweet sticky thing
Sweet, sweet sticky thing
Sweet, sweet sticky thing
Sweet, sweet sticky thing

[Verse 2]
Every time that you walk by
You really leave me paralyzed
If you just wouldn't play those games
You sweet sticky thing
Your beehive is full of bees
I wish you had a place for me
I’m really trying hard to change
You sweet sticky thing

[Chorus]
Sweet, sweet sticky thing
Sweet, sweet sticky thing
Sweet, sweet sticky thing
Sweet, sweet sticky thing
Sweet, sweet sticky thing
Sweet, sweet sticky thing

[Verse 3]
Little buzzing bumble bee
I’d want to take you home with me
Will you share my beehive with me
You sweet sticky thing
You leave honey everywhere
Sometimes I wonder if you care
Who sees you when you do your thing
You’ve got such a sting

[Outro]
Sweet, sweet sticky thing
Sweet, sweet sticky thing
That’s why I sing
Da da da daa
Da da da daa
Da da da daa aah
Da da da daa
Da da da daa
Da da da daa aah
Da da da daa
Da da da daa
Da dat da daa aah
Da da da daa
Da da da daa
Da da da daa ya
