love

You are my pride and joy
And I just love you, little darlin'
Like a baby boy loves his toy
You've got kisses sweeter than honey
And I work every day to give you all I know
And that's why you're my pride and joy

And I'm tellin' the world
You're my (pride and joy) pride and joy (pride and joy)
I believe I'm no (baby boy) baby boy (baby boy)
But I know you're mine (pride and joy)
My pride and joy (pride and joy)
Yeah baby (baby boy) Yeah baby (baby boy)

You, you are my pride and joy
And a love like mine, yeah baby
Is something nobody can ever destroy
You pick me up (pick me up) when I'm down (when I'm down)
And when we go out, pretty baby
You shake up the whole town (whole town)
And that's why (that's why)
I believe you're my (you're my) pride and joy (pride and joy)

[Repeat and fade:]
(Pride and joy) [4x] (baby boy) [2x]
(Pride and joy) My pride and joy (pride and joy)
And I love you like a baby loves his toy (pride and joy)

Mother earth told the people
That the cold nights can be warm
Just get along with your brother
(It's the shelter from the storm)

If you're standing in the sunshine
But still out in the rain
Let your heart strike a match
('Cause love lights the flame)

Let it shine so bright
The eternal light
Let it burn forever and ever
Let love bring us together
Let it shine so bright
The eternal light
Let us join our hands together
Make a chain that bonds forever

Motionless people gather dust
Stand in the rain and you'll rust

Let's try to show compassion
It's the time for us to learn
There will be a better tomorrow
(Our reward is love in return)

Let it shine so bright
The eternal light
Let it burn forever and ever
Let love bring us together
Let it shine so bright
The eternal light
Let us join our hands together
Make a chain that bonds forever

(Love is the thing you need)

Ooh, I know a fortune teller
A very freaky fella
How 'bout you like me to tell ya
(Love is the thing you need) Let me say now

A family physician
Gave me a prescription
For a nice disposition
(Love is the thing you need)

So, when all your frustrations
Don't receive no medication
How bad you feel
Oh, it's just unreal
Oh, you can't get no satisfaction
When your mind is overacting
And you don't give your self the love you need

(So get on up)
And get down, down, down
With some good ol' funky, funky love
(Love is the thing you need) Fellas
(Love is the thing you need) Ah, hit it,

Make you feel so good
Make your body shake like crazy
Give yourself a get and go, yeah
(Love is the thing you need) The midnight hour

(Love is the thing you need) (Love is the thing you need)
(Love is the thing you need) Sing it again
(Love is the thing you need) (Love is the thing you need)
When that somebody finds you down (Love is the thing you need)
Love comes up from underground (Love is the thing you need)

Oh, love (Oh, love)
Yeah, some people they don't know
That it's the only way to go
If you wanna live a happy, happy life yeah, yeah

Oh, there ain't no doubt about it
We just can't live without it
No we can't, no we can't
Sing it to me children

(Love is the thing you need) One more time, yeah
(Love is the thing you need) Sing it, yeah,
Once a day, twice a day, everyday
(Love is the thing you need) What you say now
Once a day, twice a day, good God, everyday
(Love is the thing you need) You gotta, gotta have love
You gotta, gotta have love
You gotta, gotta have love
Y'all know what I'm talkin' about (Love is the thing you need)
You gotta, gotta have love
You gotta, gotta have love
You gotta, gotta have love (Love is the thing you need)
Don't you stop, don't you stop

WHEN I NEED MORE THAN LOVE

YOU ARE THE ONE THAT I RUN TO

WHEN JUST WORDS AREN'T ENOUGH

YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO



AND EVERY TIME I NEED SOMEONE

TO TURN MY UPSIDE DOWN BACK UP

YOU'RE ALWAYS THERE

I'M SO GLAD YOU CARE



(CHORUS)

YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND, MY LOVE, MY LOVE

YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND, MY LOVE

MY LOVE YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND



YOU'RE MY WARM WHEN IT'S COLD

YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE WHEN IT RAINS

AND IF THE RAIN TURNS TO SNOW

WE'LL STILL BE ON THAT FRIENDSHIP TRAIN



CAUSE IF OUR LOVE AFFAIR SHOULD END (IF OUR LOVE AFFAIR SHOULD END)

I KNOW I'LL NEVER FIND A FRIEND

AS GREAT AS YOU

GIRL, I'M GLAD IT'S TRUE



(CHORUS)



OOH, YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND

GIRL THERE'LL BE NO OTHER

YOU'RE MY FRIEND AND LOVER

(YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND)

DON'T YOU KNOW I LOVE YA

YOU'RE MY FRIEND AND LOVER

OOH, OOH GIRL THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOMEONE TO LOVE YA

SOMEONE WHO CAN LOVE YA

(YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND)

YES YOU ARE

YES YOU'RE MY FRIEND AND LOVER

GIRL THERE'LL BE NO OTHER

(YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND)

I'LL BE YOURS FOREVER

YOU AND ME TOGETHER

THEY SAY THAT YOU'LL BE GONE
NEVER STAY TOO LONG
WON'T LET LOVE BEGIN
AND YOU CHANGED LIKE THE WIND
GIRL I GOT YOU ON MY MIND
LAID MY HEART RIGHT ON THE LINE
LIKE A MIRROR IN THE SKY
LOVE'S REFLECTING IN YOUR EYE

(CHORUS)
(BREEZY)YOU'RE SO EASY TO LOVE
(BREEZY)YOU'RE MY HIGH FLYING DOVE
(BREEZY)DON'T LET LOVE FLY AWAY
BABY STAY, OH (OOH)
(REPEAT)

THE WILD IS LIVING FREE
YOU'RE SO WARM TO ME
LOVE IS COMING ON
AND I FEEL IT GETTING STRONG
TRYING EVERYWAY I KNOW
TO MAKE YOU NEVER WANT TO GO
THE WIND THAT BROUGHT YOU HERE IS GONE
WHY RACE BACK TO WHERE YOU BELONG

(CHORUS)
