Im Not Your Toy
La Roux (Nero Remix) Lyrics
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
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
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
The lyrics of "I'm Not Your Toy" talk about the disillusionment that comes with love and relationships. La Roux likens love to a stubborn youth that only serves to annoy, and the singer feels like they are walking on a broken roof while looking at the sky - something that is both dangerous and impossible to achieve. Love is shown as false, with mere attention and affection being mistaken for genuine love. The singer is not interested in playing games and being used like a toy, and seeks to break free from such patterns. In the second verse, the singer is in a "smoky light", unable to find the truth and unsure about the feelings and motives of their partner. Despite the confusion and uncertainty, they know that they do not want to be treated like an object of desire - a toy - and that this is not just another common love story.
Line by Line Meaning
Love, love is like a stubborn youth
That you'd rather just annoy
Love can be so insistent that it becomes irritating and difficult to control, like a stubborn and unruly teenager.
I'm walking on a broken roof
While I'm looking at the sky
I'm living in a fragile and unstable situation, but still hopeful about something bigger and better.
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
Your love and care for me is not real, you are just trying to fulfill your own desire for attention and control. I am not a passive object for your amusement and this is not a typical romantic movie plot.
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
Romantic feelings can cloud my judgment and make me uncertain of what is real and true. Your actions and advances confuse me and I hope that there is something authentic about them.
I'm not your toy
This isn't another girl meets boy
I am my own person, with my own thoughts and desires. This relationship is not going to follow the usual stereotypes or conventions.
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
This is not a real relationship - it is just a performance designed to satisfy your need for control and power, but I am not going to play along with it. This is not a storybook romance - it is something entirely different.
