Lyrics

You wake me up

You awaken me.

In the middle of the night

During the night.

And burn the cover down.

Setting something on fire.

You're on the phone in the air

Talking on the phone while airborne.


Like a record try to spin me around.

Similar to a spinning record.

Oh won't you move away,

Request to move away.

Oh honey get away.

An affectionate term followed by a directive to leave.

The joy of a toy,

The pleasure derived from a plaything.


Is it all that you came for?

Questioning if that's the sole purpose of one's presence.

The joy of a toy

The delight of a plaything.

Got the look of a lie.

Having the appearance of deception.

The joy of a toy

The happiness associated with a plaything.


Put the hurt into action.

Turning pain into action.

The joy of a toy,

The pleasure derived from a plaything.

You can kiss this love goodbye.

Bidding farewell to this love.

How can you win

How can one succeed?


When you don't know a thing

When one lacks understanding.

What love is all about?

The mystery of love.

Don't want to fight

Expressing a desire to avoid conflict.

So get out of my sight

Asking someone to leave one's field of vision.


I won't surrender now.

Refusing to give up now.

It's independence day,

A reference to a day symbolizing independence.

Oh honey get away.

An affectionate term followed by a directive to leave.

The joy of a toy...

Reiteration of the joy associated with a plaything.


Hello, goodbye...

A conventional greeting and farewell.
