Joy                                          by Kress Cole 

(2017 gender makeover lyrics)

Girl she said you spend a lot of weekends alone

Why don’t you come out with me and

We’ll get a boat on the lake

I said girl don’t you know I have two ships in my pocket

I have a key to said boathouse

A girl-girl like me what’s a boy-girl like you gonna bring me?

She said          joy

Oh world, pick up your hat and your shoes and

Head out to the church that you choosed and

Tell yourself I ain’t got the blues anymore

You started off life going so downhill

Now up is the only thing real enough

It’s all behind you now

ooh   joy joy joy

And I breathed in I am looking again at the light

On the curls on the fabric on the pillow

I don’t know if I’ll be gone in a minute so 

I am holding tight to my life like

All I have in this world that is mine

Is this joy

And I said girl don’t you know I have two ships in my pocket

I have a key to said boathouse

A girl-girl like me what’s a boy-girl like you gonna bring me?

She said          joy
