Sweets for My Sweet

Yeah, I am off to places, foreign lands that I have never seen before And I don't know what will lie in store I'd like to see the sights and sample all the local cuisines That I have read about in magazines At night I'll watch the stars that artists and philosophers admired And hope that I will be, like them, inspired And I will browse the shops along the beach for pretty souvenirs That I'll be bringing back to you, my dear 'Cause I'll be missing from your days and I'll be missing you And it pains me just to leave your comfort zone But if I ever lost you, oh, my world would split in two So I'm bringing sweets for my sweet and honey for my honey when I come back home I hear that there's a festival of lights and colours, so divine And I'll take lots of photos and post them online Every day, the people in the streets will smile and wave and clap their hands Accompanied by tunes from traditional bands And every night, they gather round and dance in the centre of the town As the colourful carnival kings and queens are crowned And when I'm home, I'll teach you all the moves and we can pretend you were there We'll be rubbish but we'll have fun beyond compare 'Cause I'll be missing from your days and I'll be missing you And it pains me just to leave your comfort zone But if I ever lost you, oh, my world would split in two So I'm bringing sweets for my sweet and honey for my honey when I come back home Don't miss me too much, just try aiming your love eastward If you get lonely it's alright We'll still be in touch, Facebook messages and tweets would be lovely And you can phone me every night You don't need anyone's permission 'cause I'll be missing I'll be missing from your days and I'll be missing you And it pains me just to leave your comfort zone But if I ever lost you, oh, my world would split in two So I'm bringing sweets for my sweet and honey for my honey when I come back home I'm bringing sugar for my sugar, baby dolls for my baby doll, apples for the apple of my eye I'm bringing sweets for my sweet and honey for my honey, aren't I?
