I'm Not Your Toy
La Roux Lyrics
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
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

There are multiple bands called La Roux/Laroux:
1: La Roux is the electropop project of Elly Jackson (born 12 March 1988 in London, United Kingdom; singer and keyboardist). It started as a duo in 2008 and became a solo project in 2011, when Jackson's songwriting and producing partner Ben Langmaid left the group. Her music is largely influenced by 80s pop music including Eurythmics, Depeche Mode, The Human League, Heaven 17, Yazoo and Prince.

Her music is largely influenced by 80s pop music including Eurythmics, Depeche Mode, The Human League, Heaven 17, Yazoo and Prince.
The name La Roux (pronounced lah-roo) is reported to be chosen when Elly found it in a book of baby names. La Roux comes from the mix of the French masculine word for "redhead" and the feminine article for "the", referring to Jackson's distinctive hairstyle.
In 2006 Jackson and Langmaid were introduced by a mutual friend. Their first project was named Automan and they wrote largely acoustic music.
In 15 December 2008, La Roux released their first single "Quicksand" on Kitsuné Music label, reaching just #129 on UK. This single was followed on 29 June 2009 by their debut album La Roux on Polydor label. The album peaked at #2 on UK albums chart, #158 on US charts, and it sold over 500,000 copies worldwide.
La Roux' second single "In For the Kill" was released on 16 March 2009. This single debuted at #11 on the UK singles chart and peaked at #2. The dubstep producer Skream made two remixes of this track: "In for the Kill (Skream's Let's Get Ravey remix)" and "In for the Kill (That Doesn't Sound Like Skream's remix)". Lifelike also made a remix entitled "In for the Kill (Lifelike Remix)".
"Bulletproof" was released on 22 June 2009 and debuted at #1 on the UK singles chart and peaked at #8 on the US charts. This single was ranked #25 on Rolling Stone's list of The 25 Best Songs of 2009. They issued "I'm Not Your Toy" as fourth single on 27 September 2009, reaching #27 on the UK singles chart.
La Roux gained fifth position on the BBC's Sound of 2009 poll. The Guardian featured La Roux as one of the "Best New Acts of 2009" in the January of that year. The debut album has been nominated for a Mercury Prize. Also they have received 2010 BRIT Award nominations in the categories of British Breakthrough Act and British Single for "In for the Kill".
They won the NME Award for Best Dancefloor Filler with "In For The Kill (Skream's Let's Get Ravey remix)". They were also the only band to be featured 4 times on the NME 50 Best Tracks of 2009 list with "I'm Not Your Toy" placed at #41, "Bulletproof" at #24, "In For the Kill (Skream's Let's Get Ravey remix)" at #19 and "In For The Kill" at #8.
In 2014 La Roux released a second album, "Trouble in Paradise".

2: Laroux is a Dutch band that plays world music.
The group is involved in many forms of world music and will therefore go all out. Whether it is Eastern European, African Highlife, a Tex Mex polka or Irish; the group masters it all. The bagpipes and tin whistles by Wouter Kuyper and the Fujara (Slovak flute), the squeezebox and the accordion by Lenny Laroux are assisted by De Meute: four musicians who form the basis of this performance. Laroux sings Dutch and describes the life of a Pallieter on a trip around the world.

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

Amor, amor é como teimosia de adolescente
Que você prefere apenas negar
Estou caminhando sobre um telhado quebrado
Enquanto estou olhando para o céu
É tudo falso amor e carinho,
Você não me quer, você só gosta da atenção
Sim, é tudo falso amor e carinho,
Você não gosta de mim, você só quer a atenção
Não sou seu brinquedo, não sou outra "garota que satisfaz"
Não sou seu brinquedo, não sou outra "garota que satisfaz"
Amor, o amor se esconde em uma noite esfumaçada,
Eu nunca consigo encontrar a verdade
Rapaz, seus toques me deixam perplexa
Queria poder acreditar em você.
É tudo falso amor e carinho,
Você não me quer, você apenas gosta da atenção
Sim, é tudo falso amor e carinho,
Você não gosta de mim, você só quer a atenção
Não sou seu brinquedo, não sou outra "garota que satisfaz"
Não sou seu brinquedo, não sou outra "garota que satisfaz"

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 [repeat 2x]
I'm not your toy
This isn't another girl meets boy [repeat 2x]
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]

O molho - eu não sou seu brinquedo
O amor, , o amor é como um adolescente teimoso
Que você prefere irritar
Eu estou andando em um telhado quebrado
Enquanto eu olho para o céu
É tudo falso amor e carinho
Você não me quer, você só gosta da atenção
É, isso tudo é falso amor e carinho
Você não gosta de mim, você só quer a atenção
Eu não sou seu brinquedo....
Isso não é mais do que um encontro entre uma mulher e um homem
O amor, o amor é como uma luz esfumaçada
E eu nunca pareço achar a verdade
Garoto, teu toque me deixa maravilhada
Eu queria tanto acreditar em você
É tudo falso amor e carinho
Você não me quer, você gosta da atenção
É, é tudo falso amor e carinho
Você não gosta de mim, você só gosta da atenção
Eu não sou seu brinquedo....

WHY ISNT SHE STILL RELEVANT....!!! SHES AMAZING. IN MY OPINION.
Adri
Too many hiatu’s
Dee Dee
It's the beats
You can remix any of her vocals into beats of these days in a song is fire especially I'm not your toy Nero remix
crazyinsanepenguin
She fell out with the other half of the group, and released an underperforming, underpromoted album, which itself was not as strong as the first. Third album is completely forgettable. It's a shame since the debut was one of the best of that year.

@Jezza Lenko Beg to differ. Sade “only” releases every 10yrs! But its all pure gold. You’re right, its usually not great for business - but thats also why a lot of music these days is crap bc they dont care & they’re just trying to put shit out quickly bc they’re afraid their fans will “disappear”. But i think if its good, it doesnt matter when it comes out, whenever it comes out there will always be people who appreciate good music & art.
Sam Mullett
Totally agree
Elena Mercury
it’s been 10 years, huh? back in the days I was literally obsessed with her songs and this one was my favorite. I kinda feel old and sad :/
Dee Dee
@Denzo Warmbad yeah nobody cares about the band you just need her vocals on a good remix beat her lyrics are fire but her beats are trash
Cold Daze
10 years ago makes you feel old, really lol? I'm 50 next year, just sayin'. I do love this song btw
angelicxenergy
