LYRICS

( Otis Redding )
My baby nothing but a ton of joy
Children, yes she is one ton of joy
My baby nothing but a ton of joy
Love, love, love, love, love, lovely
Lovely ton of joy

The way she love me
Makes me know i'm a man
What she do for me
You don't understand, children
Baby, you're a ton of joy
Lovely, lovely, lovely ton of joy

She's got what all men
Are trying to find
Drives a strong man
Practically out of his mind, children
She gives a blind man eyes to see, y'all
She knocks a preacher man
Straight on his knees, y'all

Baby, baby, you're a ton of joy
Girl, i love, i love your ton of joy
Children, the way she loves me
Makes me wanna learn
You sets me on fire
But i'm willing to burn, children, ou
Girl, you're a ton of joy
A lovely, lovely, lovely ton of joy

You love girl, i love you, baby
No matter what you do, girl
I'm gonna keep loving you
No matter what you say
You got one hundred tons of -
One hundred ton of joy, baby
You don't weigh but a hundred
But i just love you...
