Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Joy
[Verse 2]
Oh, my joy
I don't like it no more
'Cause they took my joy
I don't like it no more
'Cause they took my joy
[Verse 3]
They took my joy
I want it back
They took my joy
I want it back
[Verse 4]
I said, I started into Jordan, I was lookin' for my joy
Said, I started into Jordan, I was lookin' for my joy
Baby, in the morning city, I'll find joy
Baby, in the morning city, I'll find joy
[Verse 5]
Then I went to New York, I was lookin' for my joy
Went to New York and I was lookin' for my joy
Maybe in the apple, I could find joy
Maybe in the apple, I could find joy
[Verse 6]
Oh, my joy
They had no right to take my joy
I want it back
No right to take my joy
I want it back
They took my joy
I want it back
They took my joy
I want it back
[Verse 7]
Joy
Oh, my joy
Tell ya, I went down to Memphis a-lookin' for my joy
Said, I went down to Memphis, I was lookin' for my joy
Maybe in Memphis, I'd find joy
Maybe in Memphis, I'd find joy
[Verse 8]
So then I went to Muscle Shoals, lookin' for my joy
Went to Muscle Shoals, lookin' for my joy
I thought, maybe in the Shoals I could find some joy
Maybe in the Shoals I could find some joy
[Verse 9]
Joy
Oh, my joy
I don't want it no more
'Cause they took my joy
With me no more 'cause they took my joy
They took my joy
I want it back
They took my joy
I want it back
Joy, joy, joy, joy
[Verse 10]
Oh, my joy
So I went to West Orange
