Joy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sitting on a step somewhere downtown
Looking for the queen of my heart
People call me a dreamer
Don't wanna live any longer apart
I'm feeling stronger, stronger everyday
I'm feeling stronger everyday

Chorus:
Valerie you'd better love someone
Valerie you'd better need that too
Valerie you're as cold as ice
Valerie you'll have to pay the price
Queen of my heart (Queen of my heart)
Queen of my soul (Queen of my soul)
Queen of my deepest emotions
Queen of my heart (Queen of my heart)
Queen of my soul (Queen of my soul)
Oh Valerie

She's just laughing about me
For things like love she don't care
Even the deepest ocean
Can't wash my heartache away
I'm feeling stronger, stronger everyday
I'm feeling stronger everyday

(chorus)
I'm lost in the web of the spider
Waiting till her love sets me free
Her love is my biggest desire
I want her so much to want me





(chorus)
