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]
