I'm Not Your Toy
La Roux污 Lyrics

The song I'm Not Your Toy by La Roux explores the theme of false love and the desperation to be wanted. The opening lines "Love, love is like a stubborn youth, that you'd rather just annoy, I'm walking on a broken roof while I'm looking at the sky" suggests that love is annoying and difficult to navigate. The singer appears to be struggling with love and relationship, feeling as though they are walking on a broken roof and unable to escape the tricky and tumultuous feelings associated with it. The second verse speaks of being in a "smoky light" unable to find the truth with the touches of the boy leaving her mystified.
The chorus repeats the statement "I'm not your toy, this isn't another girl meets boy" emphasizing the importance of being seen as more than just entertainment or a passing fancy. The singer is demanding respect and honesty in relationships. The lyrics "It's all false love and affection, you don't like me you just want the attention" highlights the central issue of wanting to be real and genuine but being met with false love and attention seeking instead. The song captures the reality of modern relationships and the struggle for authenticity in a world that is increasingly superficial.
