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 "I'm Not Your Toy" talk about the experience of being toyed with in a romantic relationship. The singer compares love to a stubborn youth, someone who is difficult to deal with and creates more annoyance than pleasure. The image of walking on a broken roof while looking at the sky suggests an uncertain and unstable situation where the singer is on the verge of falling.
The chorus repeats twice the idea that the lover is not genuinely interested in the singer but only seeking attention. Here, love is portrayed as false and deceptive, causing confusion and mystification (as suggested by the smoky light image) instead of clarity and understanding. The singer wishes to believe in the lover's words and actions but struggles to find the truth.
Overall, "I'm Not Your Toy" expresses a feeling of frustration and disappointment with love that seems to be more about power plays and manipulation than genuine connection. The lyrics suggest that the singer is aware of the game being played and refuses to be just another player, hence the title of the song.

Love, love is like a stubborn youth
That you'd rather just annoy
Love is often difficult to deal with, like an annoying child that you would rather ignore.
I'm walking on a broken roof
While I'm looking at the sky
I feel like I am in a dangerous and unstable situation, but I still have hope for something better.
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]
You don't really care about me, you only want the attention that comes from being in a relationship with me. I am not just a toy to be played with, and this is not a typical love story.
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
Love is often shrouded in mystery, and I am having trouble understanding what is real and what is not. Your actions confuse me, and I want to trust you but find it difficult.

Love, love is like a stubborn youth
That you'd rather just deny
I'm walking on a broken roof
While I'm looking at the sky
It's all false love and affection
You don't want me
You just like the attention
Yes, it's all false love and affection
You don't like me
You just want the attention
I'm not your toy
This isn't another girl-meets-boy
I'm not your toy
This isn't another girl-meets-boy
Love, love hides 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 want me
You just like the attention
Yes, it's all false love and affection
You don't like me
You just want the attention
I'm not your toy
This isn't another girl-meets-boy
I'm not your toy
This isn't another girl-meets-boy
Oh, oh, I'm not your toy
This isn't another girl-meets-boy
I'm not your toy, ohh
This isn't another girl-meets-boy
All false love and affection
You don't want me
You just like the attention
Yes, it's all false love and affection
You don't like me
You just want the attention
I'm not your toy
This isn't another girl-meets-boy
I'm not your toy, oh, oh
This isn't another girl-meets-boy
I'm not your toy, ohh
This isn't another girl-meets-boy
I'm not your toy, ohh
