You're my pride and joy...

[Verse]
Now, shake your hips, shake 'em too, little pride and joy, you are
Sweet breakin' heartbreaker, sweet little bottle of joy, you are
I'm your baby, your baby, your baby baby baby
Baby boy...like a toy (like a toy)

[Chorus]
And I'm tellin' the world you are my
My pride and joy
I believe I'm your, your baby boy (your baby boy)
And I know you're mine, you're my pride and joy
My pride and joy
Yeah baby, yeah baby, yeah
