Analysis of My Pride And Joy
No matter how coy the ploy
you are my pride and joy
No matter how steep the slope
you are my faith and hope
No matter how dark the night
you are my guide and light
No matter how vague the goal
you are my heart and soul
No matter how small the gain
you are my ball and chain
No matter how false the spree
you are my lock and key
No matter how high the bar
you are my moon and star
No matter how hard the drill
you are my fun and thrill
