Lyrics

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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, crave to feel your tender touch
Magic moment paradise, oh, baby
[Verse 2]
Life is too damn short to let you get away
Here to say, I need your love, oh, baby
There's no greater pleasure than you've given me
Hear me, baby, I want you to know
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Darling, don't you know my heart longs to hold you so?
Passion burns inside my mind
You're my fantasy, no other love can set me free
Glad to know that you're all mine, mine
[Verse 4]
Sailing through the night, I find the simple pleasures
Yes, the stars feel like a moon, so full of love
Nothing takes the place of romance we should be
But all we need is you and me, baby
[Chorus]
It's a joy, joy to be, 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
Joy
It's a joy, joy to be, be near you, I, I want you here with me
It's a joy, oh, baby, joy to be, be near you, I want you here with me
[Verse 5]
We're meant to be, and I know we can win
At 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 living it now
[Bridge]
Joy
Joy
Joy
Js will say, "Uh"
[Bridge]
Tell me what you like
Oh, baby, tell me what you like
Tell me what you like
I wanna be near you so I can feel you
Tell me what you like
Oh, come let me hold you
Come let me squeeze you
[Bridge]
Joy
Joy, joy to be (Joy)
Come let me kiss you, aw, 'cause I miss you
(It's a joy, joy to be) Joy
Oh, let me squeeze you
Oh, let me tease you
[Outro]
(It's a joy, joy to be, be near you, want you here with me) Joy, joy to be, have you with me, want you here with me
Such a joy, oh, joy, oh, joy, have you with me (It's a joy, a joy to be, to be near you, I want you here with me)
Oh, joy, oh, joy, oh yeah, want my heart, my soul, my everything, I love you, baby (It's a joy, a joy to be, be near you, want you here with me)
(It's a joy, a joy to be, be near you, want you here with me) Joy, oh, baby, have you with me, I, I want you here with me
A joy, oh, joy, oh, joy (It's a joy, a joy to be, be near you, want you here with me)
