Toyz
Missy Elliott Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[INTRO]
Whatchu mean I don't need you no more?
Cause I don't!
I gotta bag full of toyz
And I don't need none of your boys
So you can hit every chick on the block
Cause I'm gone be alright once I turn this power on
Ya dig?

[VERSE ONE]
(Toooyz)
You don't get the job done
When I need a little loving
So I gotta do it myself
If I wanna feel something
So I grab me a toy
Look, boo ain't buggin'
But now I want some affection
And you ain't giving me nothing

[CHORUS]
A toy, every girl must have a toy
The way it make you feel
Every girl has a toy now, baby
A toy, every girl must have a toy
The way it make you feel

[VERSE 2]
I keep my butterfly close
When you don't wanna be bothered
Don't come waking me up
Cause I ain't giving you nada
Cause I got me a toy (Toooy)
And it works for me, yeah
It lasts longer than the battery
So you best believe that

[CHORUS]
A toy, every girl must have a toy
The way it make you feel
Every girl has a toy now, baby
A toy, every girl must have a toy
The way it make you feel

[VERSE 3]
I used to wish that you would love me
And fantasize on how we used to be
Until I discovered something better than you
I don't need, no need, your loving
You wanna come home late at night
touchin', feelin' all over me
But I don't need no help in pleasing me
Oh!

[CHORUS]
A toy, every girl must have a toy
The way it make you feel
Every girl has a toy now, baby
A toy, every girl must have a toy
The way it make you feel

[OUTRO]
How could I miss you baby?
I didn't even know you was gone
It's obvious you're not needed in the bedroom anymore
I'm just keeping myself occupied like all women do
When they're taking a bath
And when you leave
Make sure you don't slam the door




Cause you'll fuck up my concentration
(Toooyz!)

Overall Meaning

The song "Toyz" by Missy Elliott is a bold anthem for self-empowerment and sexual liberation. Missy Elliott confidently declares her independence from unsatisfactory sexual partners and embraces the use of sex toys for her own pleasure. The song is a celebration of autonomy and a rejection of the societal taboos surrounding sex and female pleasure. Elliott emphasizes that women do not need men for sexual gratification, and they should embrace their sexuality without shame or judgment.


In the first verse, Elliott explains that her boyfriend is not fulfilling her needs, and she has to turn to her sex toys instead. She expresses her frustration with her partner and emphasizes her self-sufficiency. The chorus reinforces the message that every woman should have a sex toy and embrace the pleasure it brings. In the second verse, Elliott details how her sex toy "works" for her, and it lasts longer than any man. She asserts that she no longer needs her partner's love or physical touch, and the sex toy satisfies her desires entirely.


The third verse solidifies Elliott's newfound independence and empowerment. She reveals that she used to fantasize about her partner's love, but she has discovered something better than him. She does not need his touch, and she can please herself without his help. In the outro, Elliott dismisses her partner's significance entirely and makes it clear that she does not need him in the bedroom. She is keeping herself occupied with her sex toys and enjoying her own company.
