I've been a simple man most of my life
And I feel the sun on my shoulder
I'll take a simple girl and make her my wife
'Cause I feel the sun on my shoulder
Yeah, I feel the sun on my shoulder

Joy
It's Joy
It's Joy

I may stand in the shadow of a better man
But I feel the sun on my shoulder
And I live in a world that I don't understand
But when I do get older
I will carry my son on my shoulder

Joy
It's Joy
It's Joy
That's what I'm after

And if you say there's gotta be more
I don't know what for
(I guess it's true that there's never enough for you)
If you say there's gotta be more
What for?

I've been a simple man most of my life
And I feel the sun on my shoulder
I'll take a simple girl and make her my wife
'Cause I feel the sun on my shoulder
Yeah, I feel the sun on my shoulder

Joy
It's Joy
It's Joy
That's what I'm after

And if you say there's gotta be more
I don't know what for
'Cause it's Joy, it's Joy, it's Joy, it's Joy, it's Joy
