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 

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 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
