Object Of My Affection lyrics
by Shawn Colvin
Jump into the night Gas up and downshiftCruise up the coast On the FM drift It's a crazy worldOn the head of a pin Some other time Some other starI might've cried but now You only need to look so farAs the smile on my face To see the shape I'm inTry love in a bottle Try love in a boxPlay it all night longDance 'til you dropAnd it sure got soul It's not flesh and blood I tried looking for loveBut I guess it's true You don't look for love It's gonna look for youWell you found me, honeyAnd you sound so good You're the objectOf my affection Not a dream Or make believe You're the objectOf my affection Come to meNow we see the women In the photograph Sweet Anne of mercy And Sylvia Plath For a thousand words They for a life sentenceIf we lined up all the girls Who died in vainWe could walk on their heads To hell and back again But I got the big bookAnd antidepressants You're the objectOf my affection Not a phantom fantasy You're the objectOf my affection Come to me You're the object Of my affection Not a toy with batteries You're the objectOf my affection Not a rescue remedy You're the objectOf my affection Come to me
