“Oh Honey” by British Soul band Delegation became a regular staple on Quiet Storm radio shows when it dropped in 1978.
Lovestruck men called up radio shows late at night to dedicate this love ballad to their honeys.
And every DJ spinning records at red light special parties in their mama’s basement saved this slow jam for last.
Oh Honey lyrics
When I get lost, feel I’ve been crossed
She will be my salvation
When I feel low, I’ll know where to go
She’ll be my inspiration
Yeah, when my poor heart is breakin’ apart
She’ll put it back together
She ain’t the kind to show off her mind
But talking of love she’s clever, yeah
[Chorus]
Oh honey (Oh honey)
Oh honey (Oh honey)
She rarely spends time with her friends
Tells me she’s blue without me
When things go wrongHer faith is strong
I know she’ll never doubt me
Yeah, when she arrives and stands by my side
Makes me so proud to know her
High-steppin’ dames with high-soundin’ names
There ain’t nothin’ they could show her, yeah
[Repeat chorus]
Now I just wanna thank you, baby
For givin’ me a brand new start
I was goin’ down, you saved me
When you let me in your lovin’ heart, yeah
[Repeat chorus x3]
