I'm Not Your Toy
La Roux Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

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

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
I'm not your toy
This isn't another girl meets boy
I'm not your toy
This isn't another girl meets boy

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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to La Roux's song "I'm Not Your Toy" convey a frustration with the insincere type of "love" that many people seek out. The opening lines describe love as a "stubborn youth that you'd rather just annoy," suggesting that love can be difficult and frustrating. The singer feels like they're walking on a "broken roof" while looking at the sky, which could symbolize feeling like they're in a precarious position while trying to navigate their feelings.


The chorus emphasizes the theme of false love and attention-seeking, as the singer asserts that they are not a toy to be played with or another character in a typical girl-meets-boy storyline. The second verse includes more imagery of confusion and uncertainty, with the smoky lighting and mystifying touches creating a sense of disorientation.


Overall, the lyrics to "I'm Not Your Toy" suggest that the singer wants something more authentic and meaningful than the superficial attention and affection that they feel is being offered to them. It's a message that many people can relate to, as the pursuit of genuine love and connection can often feel like a difficult and elusive quest.

LYRICS: “I'm Not Your Toy"

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
And this isn't another girl meets boy [2x]

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

[4x]
I'm not your toy
And this isn't another girl meets boy

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

[2x]
I'm not your toy
And this isn't another girl meets boy
I'm not your toy
Oh, this isn't another girl meets boy
