Lyrics
The other day, I met a girl named Joy
She said "Come here, I'm gonna make you my Joy Boy"
Well, things went good, things went bad
Now, every time I think of Joy it makes me sad
It makes me sad
The other day, I met a girl named Joy
She said "Roy, I'm gonna make you my Joy Boy"
Well, she took me for a ride, sort of a joyride
Now, every time I think of Joy I get all weird inside
Ah, Joy to the world was a beautiful girl
But to me Joy meant only sorrow
Now, if you haven't got an answer, then you haven't got a question
And if you never had a question, then you'd never have a problem
But if you never had a problem, well everyone would be happy
But if everyone was happy, there'd never be a love song
Joy was a beautiful girl
But to me Joy meant only sorrow
The other day, I met a girl named Joy
She said "Come here, I'm gonna make you feel all clammy inside"
Things went good and things went bad
Things went good and went bad
Good, bad, good, bad, good, bad
Joy to the world was a beautiful girl
But to me Joy meant only sorrow
Ah, Joy to the world was a beautiful girl
But to me Joy meant only sorrow
Joy, I know you're out there
I want you to turn on the radio
And listen to my song
