Pride and Joy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, you've heard about lovin' givin' sight to the blind
My baby's lovin' cause the sun to shine

[Chorus]
She my sweet little thing
She my pride and joy
She my sweet little baby
I'm her little lover boy

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I love my baby
My heart and soul
Love like ours won't never grow old

[Chorus]
She my sweet little thing
She my pride and joy
She my sweet little baby
I'm her little lover boy

[Verse 3]
Yeah, I love my lady
She's long and lean
You mess with her
You'll see a man get mean
[Chorus]
She my sweet little thing
She my pride and joy
She my sweet little baby
I'm her little lover boy

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Well, I love my baby
Like the finest wine
Stick with her until the end of time

[Chorus]
She my sweet little thing
She my pride and joy
She my sweet little baby
I'm her little lover boy

[Verse 5]
Yeah, I love my baby
My heart and soul
Love like ours won't never grow old

[Chorus]
She my sweet little thing
She my pride and joy
She my sweet little baby
I'm her little lover boy

  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
