Pride and Joy Songtext
von Marvin Gaye

You are my pride and joy
And I just love you, love you, darlin′
Like a baby boy loves his toy

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
Tellin' the world you're my

(Pride and joy) pride and joy
(Pride and joy) and I believe, I′m your
(Baby boy) baby boy (baby boy)
And I know you′re my (pride and joy)
My pride and joy (pride and joy)

Yeah, baby
(Baby boy)
Yeah, baby
(Baby boy)

You, you are my pride and joy
And a love like mine, yeah baby
It's something nobody can ever destroy


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, baby

I believe you're my (pride and joy)
You′re my pride and joy (pride and joy)
Everyday (pride and joy)
And night, too (pride and joy)

And I′m your (baby boy)
Your little baby boy (baby boy)
And you're my (pride and joy)
You′re my pride and joy (pride and joy)
Lord, I love you
Just like a schoolboy loves his toy (pride and joy), yeah
Tell him again, tell him again

(Pride and joy) I believe you're my
(Pride and joy) I believe you′re my
(Pride and joy) you're my pride and joy
(Pride and joy) oh Lord, I′m your baby boy (baby boy, baby boy)
All because you're my (pride and joy)
You're my pride and joy (pride and joy)
And I love you
Like a schoolboy loves his toy (pride and joy)


Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh darlin′ you′re my (pride and joy)
You're my pride (pride and joy)
And joy (pride and joy)
Everyday, everyday (pride and joy)

Oh Lord, you said I was your baby boy (baby boy)
One day, and I believed you (pride and joy)
That′s why I work so hard for ya, darlin' (pride and joy)
And I love you
