I used to sing to an empty room
I was so lonely and so out of tune
You came along
And made my life a happy song
It's a joy to have your love
Such a joy to feel your love
Never set me free
'Cause, darling, I can't be without you
Without you, baby
It's a joy to have your love
Such a joy to feel your love
Never set me free
'Cause, darling, I can't be without you
Without you, baby
I used to go to a show all alone
I'd sit through it twice
I just couldn't go home
Then you came along
And you gave my life a happy song
It's a joy to have your love
Such a joy to feel your love
Never set me free
'Cause, darling, I can't be without you
Without you, baby
It's a joy to have your love
Such a joy to feel your love
Never set me free
'Cause, darling, I can't be without you
Without you, baby
Then you came along
And made my life a happy song
It's a joy to have your love
Such a joy to feel your love
Never set me free
'Cause, darling, I can't be without you
Without you, baby
It's a joy to have your love
Such a joy to feel your love
Never set me free
'Cause, darling, I can't be without you
Without you, baby
Have you, baby
Have you, baby
I feel so good having you around
It's a joy to have you
(It's a joy to have your love)
It's a joy to feel you
(Such a joy to feel ya)
It's a joy to see you
(It's a joy to have your love)
It's a joy to have your love
(Such a joy to feel ya)
Such a joy to see you, baby
SUch a joy to feel you, baby
SUch a joy to have and hug and lovin' you, baby
OOooOOoOOooo, such a joy to have
Such a joy to feel
Such a joy to have, to have and feel and love you, baby
It's a joy to have
It's a joy to feel
Never set me free 'cause, darling, I don't want to be...
I was so lonely and so out of tune
You came along
And made my life a happy song
It's a joy to have your love
Such a joy to feel your love
Never set me free
'Cause, darling, I can't be without you
Without you, baby
It's a joy to have your love
Such a joy to feel your love
Never set me free
'Cause, darling, I can't be without you
Without you, baby
I used to go to a show all alone
I'd sit through it twice
I just couldn't go home
Then you came along
And you gave my life a happy song
It's a joy to have your love
Such a joy to feel your love
Never set me free
'Cause, darling, I can't be without you
Without you, baby
It's a joy to have your love
Such a joy to feel your love
Never set me free
'Cause, darling, I can't be without you
Without you, baby
Then you came along
And made my life a happy song
It's a joy to have your love
Such a joy to feel your love
Never set me free
