[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]
Oh, Joy to the world
Was a beautiful girl
But to me, Joy meant only sorrow

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Joy
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
Things went good good and things went bad
Things went good... 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
Oh, Joy to the world
Was a beautiful girl
But to me, Joy meant only sorrow

[Outro]
Joy, I know you're out there
I want you to turn on your radio and listen to my song
