Pride and Joy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You are my pride and joy
And I just love you, love you, darling
Like a baby boy loves his toy

[Pre-Chorus]
You've got kisses sweeter than honey
And I work seven days a week to give you all my money
And that's why you are my pride and joy

[Chorus]
And I'm telling the world
You're my (Pride and joy)
Pride and joy (Pride and joy)
I believe I'm your (Baby boy)
Baby boy (Baby boy)
And I know you're mine (Pride and joy)
My pride and joy (Pride and joy)
Yeah, baby (Baby boy)
Yeah, baby (Baby boy)

[Verse 2]
You, you are my pride and joy
And a love like mine, yeah baby
Is something nobody can ever destroy

[Pre-Chorus]
You pick me up (Pick me up) when I'm down (When I'm down)
And when we go out, pretty baby
You shake up the whole town (Whole town)
And that's why (That's why)
I believe you're my (You're my) pride and joy (Pride and joy)
Yeah (Yeah yeah yeah)
Yeah

[Outro]
(Pride and joy)
Yeah yeah (Pride and joy)
I said every day (Pride and joy)
In the midnight hour (Pride and joy)
And I'm your (Baby boy)
Baby boy (Baby boy)
Woo (Pride and joy)
My pride and joy (Pride and joy)
And I love you like a baby loves his toy (Pride and joy)
Uh, yea yea yeah yeah (Pride and joy)
My pride and joy (Pride and joy)
Oh (Pride and joy)
In the mornin' (Pride and joy)
And I'm your (Baby boy)
Baby boy (Baby boy)
