Toy
Netta Lyrics

Look at me, I'm a beautiful creature
I am unique and confident in my own skin.

I don't care about your "modern time preachers"
I don't adhere to societal norms or opinions.

Welcome boys, too much noise, I will teach ya
I am in control and I will show you how to have fun.

(Pam pam pa hoo, turram pam pa hoo)
Background noise and sounds to add to the fun atmosphere.

Hey, I think you forgot how to play
You're too serious and need to loosen up.

My teddy bear's running away
Childlike references to emphasize the need for playful energy.

The Barbie got something to say, hey, hey, hey
Even toys have a voice and should be respected.

Hey! My "Simon says" leave me alone
I am in charge, and you need to respect my boundaries.

I'm taking my Pikachu home
I am ending this interaction and focusing on myself.

You're stupid just like your smartphone
Your obsession with technology makes you dull and uninteresting.

Wonder Woman don't you ever forget
I am powerful and should never forget that.

You're divine and he's about to regret
Enforcing the idea that women are strong and deserve respect.

He's a bucka-mhm-buckbuckbuck-mhm boy
Silly sounds to emphasize the lack of seriousness in the boy's demeanor.

Bucka-mhm-buckbuckbuck
Continued silly noises to reinforce the playful and carefree tone.

I'm not your bucka-mhm-buck-mhm-buck-mhm
I am nobody's fool or plaything, I am a strong individual.

I'm not your toy (Not your toy)
Reinforcing the idea that she is not an object to be toyed with or controlled.

You stupid boy (Stupid boy)
Highlighting the boy's foolishness and immaturity.

I'll take you down now, make you watch
I am in control and will make sure he sees how powerful I am.

We're dancing with my dolls on the motha-bucka beat
Emphasizing the fun and free-spirited nature of the situation.

(Cululoo, cululoo)
Background noise and sounds to add to the fun atmosphere.

A-a-a-Ani lo buba
Hebrew for 'I'm not a doll'. Reinforcing the idea that she is strong and independent.

Don't you go and play with me boy!
She won't be controlled or toyed with by anyone.

Don't you go and play, shake!
Her energy is infectious and she wants the boy to join in and have fun.

Wedding bells ringing
A reference to societal expectations that are not applicable to her.

Money men bling-bling
Materialism is unimportant to her.

I don't care about your stefa, baby
Reiterating her lack of interest in societal norms or expectations.

I'll t-t-t-take you now
Suggesting that she has the power to control and take whoever she wants.

W-w-w-with me now, boy
She wants the boy to join her in a carefree and wild lifestyle.

Look at me, I'm a beautiful creature
Reiterating her uniqueness and love for herself.

Not your toy, not your toy, not your toy, toy
A repetitive, almost mantra-like phrase that reinforces her lack of interest in being anyone's plaything.
