My Joy Lyrics
“This song, I write this to... that, that, that … that person, I don’t want to even mention his name. He said I couldn’t do nothing without him, uh-uh.”
Who are you to tell
That I can’t go on without you?
And why you tellin’ me
I’m never gonna survive?
Mmm but once upon a time
Yes I believed that lie.
But sorry, no way, no how
You can’t control my mind.
‘Cause if I thought you were the end-all and my be-all.
I would never have left you alone
And I wouldn’t be on my own
And I never, never would have grown.
No, no, no, ain’t no way
You’re gonna take away
My joy, my peace, my strength
(x2)
Thank you for all the times
Oh all the pain you gave me.
The hate you showed to me
Taught me how to love myself
It’s funny how you tried
To break down my pride, and my spirit, y’all
It doesn’t even matter now
‘Cause I done moved on with my life
And if I thought you were the end-all and my be-all.
I would never have left you alone
And I wouldn’t be on my own
And I never would have wrote this song.
No, no, no, ain’t no way
You’re gonna take away
My joy, my peace, and my strength
(x2)
No, ain’t no way
(Tell you, tell you)
‘Cause if I thought you were the end-all and my be-all.
I would never have left you alone
I wouldn’t be on my own
And I never would have found faith
And I never would have loved again
If I thought you were my end-all and my be-all
I never would have found faith
I never would have loved again
I never would have wrote this song.
No, talk about it, talk about it (never take away my joy)
My joy, my joy, my joy (No)
(I tell you) Tell you
(Can’t take away, can’t take away my joy)
Joy, joy, joy
Joy, joy, joy
Can’t take away my joy
My joy
SANG IT GIRL!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! FEELIN IT! We've all been here before, an it's a beautiful realization to come by once we realize that yeah, all that negative may have happened, but from it, we grew to appreciate all the POSITIVE in our worlds..... Amazing song!
