i don't want you anymore

cause you took my joy
i don't want you anymore

you took my joy
i want it back
you took my joy
i want it back

go to west memphis and look for my joy
maybe in west memphis I'll find my joy
maybe in west memphis i'll find my joy

go to west memphis and look for my joy
maybe in west memphis i'll find my joy
maybe in west memphis i'll find my joy

maybe in slidell i'll find my joy
