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