Joy Songtext
von Bettye LaVette

Joy
Ohh-oh my joy
I don′t like it no more 'cause they took my joy
I don′t like it no more 'cause they took my joy
They took my joy, I want it back
They took my joy, I want it back

Said I started in the church, and I was lookin' for my Joy
Said I started in the church, and I was lookin′ for my Joy
Maybe in the mono city I′ll find joy
Maybe in the mono city I'll find joy
Then I went to New York, I was looking for my joy
Went to New York, and I was looking for my joy
Maybe in the apple I could find joy
Maybe in the apple I could find joy
Oh-oh, my joy


They had no right to take my joy
I want it back, no right to take my joy
I want it back
They took my joy, I want it back
They took my joy, I want it back, joy
Oh-oh, joy

Tell ya I went to Memphis looking for my joy
I said I went to Memphis and look for my joy
Maybe in Memphis I′d find joy
Maybe in Memphis I'd find joy

So then I went to Moscow shows looking for my joy
Went to Moscow shows looking for my joy
I thought maybe in the shows I could find some joy
Maybe in the shows I could find some joy, joy

Oh my joy, I don′t want it no more 'cause he took my joy
Want it no more ′cause he took my joy
They took my joy, I want it back
They took my joy, I want it back
Joy, joy, joy, joy!
Ohh-oh my joy

So I will enter, West Orange
