You wake me up
In the middle of the night
And burn the cover down.
You're on the phone in the air

Like a record try to spin me around.
Oh won't you move away,
Oh honey get away.
The joy of a toy,

Is it all that you came for?
The joy of a toy
Got the look of a lie.
The joy of a toy

Put the hurt into action.
The joy of a toy,
You can kiss this love goodbye.
How can you win

When you don't know a thing
What love is all about?
Don't want to fight
So get out of my sight

I won't surrender now.
It's independence day,
Oh honey get away.
The joy of a toy...

Hello, goodbye...
