You are my pride and joy
And I just love you, little darlin'
Like a baby boy loves his toy
You've got kisses sweeter than honey
And I work every day to give you all I know

Yeah baby, yeah baby

You, you are my pride and joy
And a love like mine, yeah baby

You pick me up when I'm down
And when we go out, pretty baby
You shake up the whole town
And that's why
I believe you're my pride and joy

My pride and joy
And I love you like a baby loves his toy

My pride and joy
