Marvin: You are my pride and joy
And I just love you, love you darlin'
Like a baby boy loves his toy
You've got kisses, sweeter than honey
And I'll work seven days a week to give you all my money
And that's why, you are my pride and joy
And I'm tellin' the world that you're my
Martha & The Vandellas: Pride and joy
