[Verse 1]
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 and things went bad
Now everytime I think of Joy
It makes me sad
It makes me sad

[Verse 2]
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 joy ride
Now everytime I think of Joy
I get all weird inside

[Chorus]
Joy, to the world, was a beautiful girl
But, to me, Joy meant only sorrow

[Verse 3]
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
Then everyone would be happy
And if everyone was happy
There'd never be a love song
[Chorus]
Joy, to the world, was a beautiful girl
But, to me, Joy meant only sorrow

[Verse 4]
The other day I met a girl named Joy
She said, "Come here
I wanna make you feel all clammy inside"
Well, things went good and things went bad
Things went good and things went bad
Good, bad, good, bad, good, bad

[Chorus]
Joy, to the world, was a beautiful girl
But, to me, Joy meant only sorrow
Joy, to the world, was a beautiful girl
But, to me, Joy meant only sorrow

[Outro]
The other day I met a girl named Joy
