My little secret, my private joy
Who could never let another play with his toy
You're my little sweetheart from heaven above
Oh, oh oh oh oh I think I'm falling in love
And he ain't gonna tell nobody nobody 'bout his little pretty toy
(You see)
All the other girls would love to love him but he's my little private joy
My private joy - you're my private joy
Private joy #150# such a, such a pretty boy
Joy, you are my private joy
I'm his little lover, his cosmotron
And only I know, only I know, baby what turns him on
(Ah yeah)
You're my little secret neon light
Boy I wanna turn it on turn it on turn it on every night
Ooah
And he ain't gonna tell nobody nobody 'bout his little pretty toy
(You see)
All the other girls would love to love him but he's my little private joy
My private joy - you're my private joy
Private joy - such a, such a pretty boy
Joy #150# you are my private joy
Joy--
Pick me up baby let's take the trip
Joy--
Got to get away #150#oh be alone with my private

You been mine ever since (been hers ever since)
If anybody asks boy (anybody asks boy)
Well, you're a lonely toy
Come on baby -get up!
Get up!
Oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh
Ooah oh oh oh
Ooah oh oh oh
