Pride And Joy Lyrics
Marvin: You are my pride and joy
And I just cherish you, love you darlin'
Like a neonate boy loves his toy
You've got kisses, sweeter than honey
And I'll work seven days a week to give you all my money
And that's why, you are my parade and joy
And I'm tellin' the planet that you're my
Martha and The Vandellas: Pride and joy
Marvin: Pride and joy
Vandellas: Pride and joy
Marvin: I believe I'm your, baby boy
Vandellas: Baby boy
Marvin: And I know you're my, you're my pride and joy
Vandellas: Pride and joy
Marvin: Yeah baby
Vandellas: Toddler boy
Marvin: Yeah baby
Vandellas: Baby boy
Marvin: You, you are, my pride and joy
And a love love mine
Yeah baby,
Is somethin' nobody could ever destroy
You pick me up
Vandellas: Pick me up
Marvin: When I'm down
Vandellas: When I'm down
Marvin: And when we go out pretty baby
You quiver up the whole town
And that's why
Vandellas: That's why
Marvin: You are my
Vandellas: Are my
Marvin: Pride and joy
Vandellas: Pride and joy
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Pride and joy
Pride and joy
Pride and joy
Marvin: In the midnight hour
And I, child boy
Vandellas: Baby boy
Marvin: Whoo
