New Toy Lyrics
Did I ask you for your love?
Did I ask you for your dedication?
I don't want, I don't want your love.
I don't want, I don't want your affection.
But I've got to have the car,
I need it for the weekend.
I've got to have the stereo,
And a couple of deletions.
I've got to have the freezer,
Put some fun back in my eating.
I've got to have it all, until I'm complete.
I want a new toy, to keep my head expanding.
I want a new toy, nothing too demanding.
Then when everything is in roses, everything is static.
Yeah my new toy, you'll find us in the attic.
You - sometimes you make me feel - I feel so insecure.
Sometimes you make me feel - nothing at all
I'm sick of the TV,
Well look at the news.
I'm sick of the radio,
But what can you do?
I'm sick of the Hoover,
But what is the cure?
I'm sick of it all, so what can I do?
I get a new toy, to keep my head expanding.
I get a new toy, nothing too demanding.
Then when everything is in roses, you don't get any headroom.
Yeah my new toy, you'll find us in the bedroom, yeah.
You must, you must want,
What do you want?
You, you must, you must want,
What do you want?
You must, you must want,
What do you want?
New toy (repeat ad infinitum)
Did I ask you for your dedication?

You, you must, you must want,
What do you want?
You must, you must want,
What do you want?

As soon as you discover who penned this tune, you go, "Oh, yeah. Of course!" Well. at least that's what I did. The melody, the lyrics, the humor. They all scream Thomas Dolby. How cool that he & Lene Lovich were buds back when New Wave was still sort of new!
