One Of These Nights

[Verse 1]
You are my pride and joy
And I just love you, love you, darling
Like a baby boy loves his toy

[Pre-Chorus]
You've got kisses sweeter than honey
And I work seven days a week to give you all my money
And that's why you are my pride and joy

[Chorus]
And I'm telling the world
You're my (Pride and joy)
Pride and joy (Pride and joy)
I believe I'm your (Baby boy)
Baby boy (Baby boy)
And I know you're mine (Pride and joy)
My pride and joy (Pride and joy)
Yeah, baby (Baby boy)
Yeah, baby (Baby boy)

[Verse 2]
You, you are my pride and joy
And a love like mine, yeah baby
Is something nobody can ever destroy
