Very catchy single first released in
April, 1974 on
their
Waterloo album. It was the 2nd single to be released from the album after the success of the title track winning the
1974 Eurovision Song Contest.
As well as the
English version,
ABBA also recorded "
Honey, Honey" in
Swedish on
January 30,
1974 at
Metronome Studio,
Stockholm.
This the last official recording by the group in their own language and was released as the
B-side of the Swedish "Waterloo" single. In its English format, "Honey, Honey" was released with "
King Kong Song" as the B-side.
"Honey, Honey" was released in several
European countries, the
United States,
Australia and New Zealand, but not in the UK. ABBA's
British record label,
Epic Records, decided to release a remixed version of "
Ring Ring", but this single only reached No.32, so instead,
a cover version of "Honey,
Honey" was recorded by the act
Sweet Dreams, promptly hitting the UK Top 10.
"Honey, Honey" spent four months in the top five in
West Germany, and also reached the top five in
Austria and
Switzerland. In the United States, "Honey, Honey" was moderately successful compared to the group's later
singles. It reached No.27 on both the
Billboard Hot 100 and
Adult Contemporary charts; the first ABBA single to reach the AC chart.

LYRICS
Honey honey, how you thrill me, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, ah-hah, honey honey
I'd heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine
Oh, you make me dizzy
Honey honey, let me feel it, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, don't conceal it, ah-hah, honey honey
The way that you kiss goodnight
(The way that you kiss me goodnight)
The way that you hold me tight
(The way that you're holding me tight)
I feel like I wanna sing when you do your thing yeah
I don't wanna hurt you, baby, I don't wanna see you cry
So stay on the ground, girl, you better not get too high
But I'm gonna stick to you, boy, you'll never get rid of me
There's no other place in this world where I rather would be
Honey honey, touch me, baby, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, hold me, baby, ah-hah, honey honey
You look like a movie star
(You look like a movie star)
But I know just who you are
(I know just who you are)
And, honey, to say the least, you're a doggone beast
So stay on the ground, girl, you better not get too high
There's no other place in this world where I rather would be
Honey honey, how you thrill me, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, ah-hah, honey honey
I heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine
