Top 15 Holland–Dozier–Holland Quotes

Years from now we'll surely regret it.

I hear a symphony
A tender melody
Pulling me closer
Closer to your arms.

But like a honey bee stings
You've gone and left my heart in pain

The one we danced to all night long
It used to bring sweet memories
Of a tender love that used to be. Now it's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone.

Sugar pie, honey bunch
You know that I love you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else. In and out my life
You come and you go
Leaving just your picture behind
And I kissed it a thousand times.
