Tori Amos: HEREINMYHEAD.COM

a little dust never stopped me none
he liked my shoes i kept them on
sometimes i can hold my tongue, sometimes not
when you just skip-to-loo, my darlin’
and you know what you’re doin’ so don’t even

you’re just too used to my honey, now
you’re just too used to my honey

and i think i could leave your world
if she was the better girl
so when we died i tried to bribe the undertaker
’cause i’m not sure what you’re doin’ or the reasons

you’re just too used to my honey, now
you’re just too used to my honey
hey, yeah…you’re just to used to my honey, now

don’t bother coming down
i made a friend of the western sky
don’t bother coming down
you always like your babies tight

turn back one last time, love to watch those cowboys ride
but cowboys know cowgirls ride on the indian side
and you know what you’re doin’ so don’t even

you’re just too used to my honey, now
you’re just too used to my honey
hey, yeah…you’re just too used to my honey
you’re just to used to my honey, now

Quotes

Honey was originally scheduled to be included on Under The Pink but was left off because of lack of space. The studio version of Honey appears on UK Pretty Good Year (Part 2) and the US Cornflake Girl singles, while a live version graces both the UK Hey Jupiter/Professional Widow and US Hey Jupiter singles.

“This is my favorite song from Under The Pink. Um, but the thing is, it’s not on Under The Pink because it got kicked off at the last minute in mastering ’cause I’m such a dang-a-lang! Anyway, she’s my favorite and it’s like, ya know…(sigh)”
– Tori in-concert; from the US Hey Jupiter single

“This song was the first one written, kind of. Finished, anyway, with a pink paper. And the funny thing is, it didn’t get on the record, because she decided that she wanted to be a b-side. Sometimes they decide that. And she’s probably my favorite of all of them because um…she reminds me of New Mexico. The most incredible place. If you’ve got nothing to do this summer, you can come to my house and visit me. I’ll make our lemonade.”

“That [Honey] was going to be on the album [Under The Pink], but I knocked it off. But Honey was OK with it. She was OK, she really was. We had a long talk about it. Because believe it or not, she’s getting great status as a b-side. People love her. So she’s getting all this praise because she’s a bit of an underground song. She’s a bit of a cult song, so she kind of loves this attention. She’s getting more attention than she would if she were on the album. I think everything has its place. The only regret I ever have is that Upside Down wasn’t on Little Earthquakes.”
