Joy, oh joy

Joy, oh joy

[Verse 1: Levi Little]
Can't forget the day
That she walked into my life
It was just the kind of thing
That was so right on time, yeah yeah
After all the love changes
My heart had locked the door
Then that girl released her magic
And made me love once more, ooh ooh ooh yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Levi Little]
Like the warm rays of the sun
Her sweet love came shining down on me, oh yeah, mmm
All at once turned my life around
And with onе kiss, she set me free

She's givin' me joy (Joy)
My joy (Oh, joy)
A little bit of lovin', darlin'
[Verse 2: Levi Little]
Goodbye loneliness
And so long to my heartache
Now that joy has taken over
And decided to stay, ayy yeah yeah yeah
Her love lifts me up
Like no other love before
With every beat of my heart
I'm holding on, holding on, yeah
