Beekeeper's Daughter

The Beekeeper's Daughter Songfacts states that this is the first time The All-American Rejects have dared put horns on one of their tracks. Frontman Tyson Ritter said to Spin magazine: " I'll never forget when I was 17, Nick (Wheeler, guitar) was like, 'Can we put horns on this song?' I was like, 'Nick, if we ever have horns on a song, I'm never going to speak to you again.' Now, all of a sudden we've got a song with horns draped all over it."

I’ve been known a thousand ways Choked a hundred hearts in half as many days Oh no, I think so And I get so lost inside this city You ugly girls all look so pretty It’s true What am I supposed to do? I still got you waiting Look out your window What do you see? You don’t see me You’re a pretty little flower I’m a busy little bee Honey, that’s all you need to see I can take you for an hour But then I’m gonna leave Honey I know you’ll wait for me You’re all alone but you understand That we’re too young to start making plans agreeing Monogamy’s not a part of me And I know my line and is just a sin But I swear to you I’m gonna do it again I’m not making any friends I just wanted you to wait There out your window What do you see? You don’t see me Cause you’re a pretty little flower But I’m a busy little bee Honey, that’s all you need to see I can take you for an hour Baby then I’m gonna leave Honey I know you’ll wait for me Pulled out your picture the other day (Oh isn’t that sweet) You didn’t have that much to say (Cause it wasn't even me) Cause I know that you said I’m better off on my own and I’m better off dead I just want you there to wait Look out your window What do you see? You don’t see me Come on, come on, come on Pretty little flower I’m a busy little bee Honey that’s all you need to see I can take you for an hour Maybe two or maybe three Honey, I know you’ll wait for me Honey, that’s all you had to say
