Joy

Joy



It's a joy

Joy to be

To be near you

I want you here with me



It's a joy

Joy to be

To be near you

I want you here with me



Lady, can't you see just how much you mean to me

Get a thrill each time I'm near you

I get such a rush, I crave to feel your tender touch

Magic moment paradise, oh, baby



Life is too damn short to let you get up in

I'm here to say I need your love, oh, baby

There's no greater pleasure than you give to me

Here me, baby, I want you to know



It's a joy

Joy to be

To be near you

I want you here with me



It's a joy

Joy to be

To be near you

I want you here with me



Darling, don't you know, my heart longs to hold you do

Passion burns inside my mind

You're my fantasy, no other love can set me free

I'm glad to know that you're all mine, mine



Sailing through the night, I'll find the certain pleasures

A million stars feel like the moon, so full of love

Nothin' takes the place of romance since you came

All you need is you and me, baby



It's a joy

Joy to be

To be near you

I want you here with me



It's a joy

Joy to be

I wanna be near you

I want you here with me



It's a joy

Joy to be

To be near you

I-I want you here with me



It's a joy, oh, baby

Joy to be

To be near you

I want you here with me



We're meant to be and I know we can win

Times I feel like a kid on a Ferris wheel

You make my world go 'round and around

So much to live for and I'm livin' it now



Joy

Joy

Joy



James would say, "Uh"

Ooh

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

Tell me what you like

Mmm, mmm...mmm

Mmm



Ah, baby

Tell me what you like

{Tell me what you like} Mmm

{I wanna be near you} Mmm, mmm

{So I can feel you} Mmm...hmm...

{Tell me what you like} Oh...

Come let me hold you, come let me squeeze you



Joy

Joy to be

Come let me kiss you

Oh, 'cause I miss you



{It's Joy} Joy

{Joy to be}

Oh, let me squeeze you

Oh, let me tease you



Joy

Joy to be, yeah

Have you, baby



Such a joy

Oh, joy

Oh, joy

Glad you're with me



Oh, joy

Oh, joy

Oh, yeah

Warm my heart, my soul, my everything, I love you, baby



It's a joy, oh, babe

Joy to be

To be near you

Want you here with me



It's a joy, oh, joy

Joy to be, oh joy

To be near you

Want you here with me



It's a joy

Joy to be
