Joy (Takes Over Me) Lyrics

You can bet you're sweeter than ever
And your love is making it better
I can feel it in my bones
Ooh each time we're alone

I live in ecstasy
And my soul refuses sleep
'Cause joy, joy, joy takes over me

Through thick and thin I'll stand
Loving you always
Yes I need you mama
To keep the heartache away
I know the sun's gon' shine
And as long as you're mine
It's joy, joy, joy, joy I feel inside

Oh yeah

Your love's potion
Gives me the notion
To shout out loud
Ooh baby baby baby babe
Like a spinning top
I can't stop
Ooh loving you
You know Stevie loves you
I need you baby, oh yeah

You know my love is sure to live
Ain't goin' nowhere
And I do believe girl
You were meant for me

'Cause I live in ecstasy
And my soul refuses sleep
'Cause joy, joy takes over me

Oh baby joy
Joy, joy, joy, joy
Joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy
The way you love me joy, baby
Takes over me
Oh the way you love me
The way you need me
Baby please don't leave me
I get joy

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
