Marvin Gaye
Pride and Joy (Live)
[Verse 1]
Yeah yeah, you are, hey hey, my pride and joy
And I love you, love you, darlin'
Like a baby boy loves his toy
You've got kisses sweeter than honey
I work seven days a week to give you all my money
That's why you are my pride and joy

[Chorus]
And I'm tellin' the world
You're my pride and joy
I believe I'm your baby boy
And I know you're mine, my pride and joy
Yeah, baby, oh, yeah

[Verse 2]
You are, have mercy, my pride and joy
And a love like mine, hey baby
Is something nobody can ever destroy
You pick me up when I'm down
Oh, when we go out, pretty baby
You shake up the whole town
And that's why I believe you're my pride and joy

[Chorus]
And I say yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh, pride and joy
Ooh baby, oh, I'm your baby
I know you're my pride and joy
And I love you, love you, darlin'
Oh, my pride and joy
[Bridge]
Ah baby, honey
Said I believe I'm, oh, I'm your baby boy
And I hope that you're my pride and joy
And I know because you're my pride and joy, yes you are
Oh baby, huh, everything's alright
Said I believe I'm, I'm your baby boy
And I hope that you're my pride and joy
And I love you 'cause you're my pride and joy
Woo, yeah

[Outro]
Ladies and gentlemen, everybody has a pride and joy, everybody
As I look around the club, I can see several pride and joys
Pride and joy sitting over there, I see you pride and joys over there, haha
Everybody has a pride and joy
Pride and joy sitting right there, wonderful
How you pride and joys in the balcony?
Everybody has a pride and joy, uh-huh
Pride and joy sitting right here, you got to be pride and joys
Yeah baby
If you don't believe everybody has a pride and joy, ladies and gentlemen
I'll prove it to you
Before I do that, there's a man with two pride and joys, haha
Everybody has a pride and joy, yeah yeah
Now, see this couple sitting right over here, pride and joys
How are you, sir? Nice to meet you
Pride and joys, folks—how are you? Wonderful
Is he your baby boy? Yes, yes, yes
And she's your pride and joy? Could be?
Now, wait a minute, you gotta get that together, haha
She is your pride and joy, before I go any further—yeah, she said yeah
Wasn't about a thing, I knew it all the time
Put your arm around her, that's right, pull her—that's right, that's right
Give him some sugar—naw, naw, that will never do
That will never do
Give him some good sugar, baby, smack dab in the middle where it counts
Whip it on him
Give them a great big round of applause right here, folks, haha
Wonderful, pride and joy, wonderful
Hey baby, I'm your baby boy
You want any trouble? Haha
Do you want any trouble back there?
Rather I don't come back there messing around? Is that okay?
Is that your pride and joy sitting there? Oh, fine
You know, sometimes you run into guys with their pride and joys, you know
You don't want any trouble, nice to see you folks
Na na na na na na, now folks, I want you all to clap your hands with me right here on this beat
Everybody, I see you, brother
Pride and joy, oh Lord, I'm your baby boy
And I hope that you're my pride and joy
And I love you
I want you all to say "Yeah yeah yeah" for me
Now, say "Yeah yeah yeah yeah"
Oh, pride and joy
Now, now now now, oh, I'm your baby boy
And I know you're my pride and joy
I love you
Wanna do it again? Let's do it again, folks
Everybody, one more time
Say "Yeah yeah yeah yeah"
Oh, oh, oh baby, oh, I'm your baby boy
I know you're my pride and joy
And I love you, love you, darlin', you're my pride and joy
Pride and joy
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen
