"Can't Take My Joy" lyrics

I came out here to have a good time (to have a good time)
I'm gonna leave all my troubles behind, yeah (troubles behind)
I'm gonna make this day (gonna make this day)
A brand-new day (a brand-new day)

I'm gonna go to the altar and kneel down and pray, yeah (kneel down and pray)
Now you can talk about me (you can talk about me)
Behind my back (behind my back)
I've been doin' it so long, y'all, I got used to that (I'm used to that)

Don't nobody know my story (know my story)
And one thing is you can't take my glory (can't take my glory)

No, can't take my joy (can't take my joy)
You can't take my joy (you can't take my joy)
You can't take my joy, no (you can't take my joy, no)
You can't take my joy (you can't take my joy)

Try and hide as you please
'Fore you come entering my name
Gonna keep on going over and over again
'Cause I'm opened up than I'd rather be (I'd rather be)

Can't take my joy (can't take my joy)
No, no, you can't take my joy (you can't take my joy)

You can't take my joy
Can't take the joy
