I'm gonna make you my joy boy Well, she took me for a ride Sort of a joy ride Now everytime I thik of Joy I get all weird inside Oh, Joy to the world Was a beautiful girl But to me Joy meant only sorrow 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 Joy was a beautiful girl But to me Joy meant only sorrow 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 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 Joy, I know you're out there I want you to turn on your radio and listen to my song
