Fefe Dobson
Felicia Lily "Fefe" Dobson (born February 28, 1985) is a Canadian singer, songwriter and recording artist. Born in Toronto, Canada, her career began when Jive Records attempted to develop her as a popular musician, which Dobson refused. Dobson then sang for Island/Def Jam where the executives contracted her.
Her self-titled debut album earned her two Juno Award nominations. Her second album, Sunday Love, was not released and she was terminated from her recording company. During production of Dobson's subsequent studio album Joy, with her manager's recording company (21 Music), she was re-signed to her original major recording company (Island Records). Both companies continued working on Joy, and after experiencing numerous delays, it was released on November 22, 2010 on Island Records in Canada and November 30, 2010 on 21 Music in the United States. Her music has been covered by other artists and featured in cinema, television, and more.
Fefe Dobson (album)
Fefe Dobson is the debut album of Canadian singer-songwriter Fefe Dobson. It was released on December 9, 2003. The album was co-written by Dobson with producers Jay Levine and James Bryan McCollum. The album consists mainly of pop rock and punk music, and deals mainly with the topics of love and heartbreak. Several songs on the album are done acoustically while the remaining tracks feature prominent guitar and drum beats.
The album was released to generally positive reviews from critics; however, its commercial performance was mixed. The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard Heatseekers Albums Chart. It debuted at number 111 on the Billboard 200 chart, eventually peaking at 67. Despite the minor success of the single "Everything" in the UK, the album failed to chart there, or anywhere outside of the US and Canada.
The album did, however, spawn several successful singles. The first of these, titled "Bye Bye Boyfriend" was released during the final quarter of 2003 to generally positive critical and commercial performance. However, the single was only released in Canada. The second single, "Take Me Away", was her first single to be released internationally. The single became her second hit in Canada, as well as her only single to date that has charted on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. In 2004, Dobson released a new single, "Don't Go (Girls and Boys)", which was then appended to later pressings of the album. The song was also featured in a Tommy Hilfiger commercial starring Dobson.

Joy
by: Fefe DobsonTurn my head, there you were
I went red
Oh, I knew for sure
There was something 'bout you, baby
That I never ever felt before
Can I touch or just look?
Feels like love
Oh, I wish I could
Could I keep you to myself,
And never, ever have to look no more?
I got joy, joy, joy burning through my heart
I got joy, joy, joy, don't tear us apart
I got joy in my bedroom when it's just you and I
I got joy when you're satisfied
Flip over and cry
I got joy, joy, joy running way down low
I got joy, joy, joy, xoxo
I got joy burstin' out of me, explode with a bang
I got joy for your anatomy,
Please don't take it away
Make it last, take it slow
Take your time, Yeah, I know, I know
That we can do it better than
Whoever said that dreams don't come true
'Cause they do
Don't get down, keep it up
You're allowed to be so in love
'Cause I'm liking what I'm seeing
And I'm seeing what I'm liking in you
I got joy, joy, joy burning through my heart
I got joy, joy, joy, don't tear us apart
I got joy in my bedroom when it's just you and I
I got joy when you're satisfied
Flip over and cry
I got joy, joy, joy running way down low
I got joy, joy, joy, xoxo
I got joy burstin' out of me, explode with a bang
I got joy for your anatomy,
Please don't take it away
Oh yeah, you know how I wanna play
So stay, oh yeah, you know how to love me away
With your joy, joy, joy joy, joy
With your joy, joy, joy joy, joy
Away, Oh baby, please don't take it away
I got joy, joy, joy burning through my heart
I got joy, joy, joy, don't tear us apart
I got joy in my bedroom when it's just you and I
I got joy when you're satisfied
Flip over and cry
I got joy, joy, joy running way down low
I got joy, joy, joy, xoxo
I got joy burstin' out of me, explode with a bang
I got joy for your anatomy,
