I'm Not Your Toy
[La Roux] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you'd rather just annoy
I'm walking on a broken roof
While I'm looking at the sky
It's all false love and affection
You don't like me you just want the attention [repeat 2x]
I'm not your toy
Love, love I'm in a smoky light
I can never find the truth
Boy, your touches leave me mystified
I wish I could believe in you
Yes, it's all false love and affection
You don't like me you just want the attention [repeat 2x]
I'm not your toy
This isn't another girl meets boy [repeat 2x]
I'm not your toy
This isn't another girl meets boy [repeat 2x]
It's all false love and affection
You don't like me you just want the attention [repeat 2x]
I'm not your toy
This isn't another girl meets boy [repeat 2x]
I'm not your toy
This isn't another girl meets boy [repeat 2x]
The lyrics of [La Roux]'s song "I'm Not Your Toy" speak about how love can be like a stubborn youth, which can be annoying if you're not receiving genuine love in return. The singer is on a broken rooftop, gazing into the sky, trying to find some semblance of the truth. She then talks about how her lover's touches leave her mystified, but she wishes she could believe in them. However, the love she receives is all false and manipulative, and her lover just wants her attention. She proclaims that she is not an object or a plaything and that her relationship is not just a game of cat and mouse.
The lyrics to "I'm Not Your Toy" can be interpreted in several ways. The singer could be pointing out the emotional immaturity and selfishness of her lover, who only wants attention and is not interested in a genuine relationship. The broken rooftop could also represent the fragility of the singer, who is still searching for the truth about love and is not ready to be in a manipulative relationship. The song is a poignant reminder that love is not a game and that people should be treated with respect and honesty.

Love is difficult to deal with, like a stubborn child. It can be annoying and frustrating.

I'm in a precarious situation, but I'm still looking up with hope.

You don't like me you just want the attention [repeat 2x]

This isn't another girl meets boy [repeat 2x]
The other person's love and affection aren't genuine, they just want the attention. The singer is not a toy or a game for the other person to play with.
Love, love I'm in a smoky light
I can never find the truth
Boy, your touches leave me mystified
I wish I could believe in you
The singer is in a confusing and murky situation. They can't find the truth, and the other person's actions leave them unsure. They want to believe, but it's hard.
I'm not your toy
This isn't another girl meets boy [repeat 2x]
The singer is stating the truth of the situation again: they are not a toy for the other person to play with, and this isn't just a simple romance story.
It's all false love and affection
You don't like me you just want the attention [repeat 2x]
I'm not your toy
This isn't another girl meets boy [repeat 2x]
I'm not your toy
This isn't another girl meets boy [repeat 2x]
Reinforcing the message that the other person doesn't truly care, and the current situation is not what it seems. The singer is not someone to be played with.
