Object Of My Affection

S. colvin - j. leventhal

Jump into the night
Gas up and downshift
Cruise up the coast
On the fm drift
Its a crazy world
On the head of a pin

Some other time
Some other star
I mightve cried but now
You only need to look so far
As the smile on my face
To see the shape Im in

Try love in a bottle
Try love in a box
Play it all night long
Dance til you drop
And it sure got soul
Its not flesh and blood

I tried looking for love
But I guess its true
You dont look for love
Its gonna look for you
Well you found me, honey
And you sound so good

Youre the object
Of my affection
Not a dream
Or make believe
Youre the object
Of my affection
Come to me

Now we see the women
In the photograph
Sweet anne of mercy
And sylvia plath
For a thousand words
They for a life sentence

If we lined up all the girls
Who died in vain
We could walk on their heads
To hell and back again
But I got the big book
And antidepressants

Youre the object
Of my affection
Not a phantom fantasy
Youre the object
Of my affection
Come to me

Youre the object
Of my affection
Not a toy with batteries
Youre the object
Of my affection
Not a rescue remedy
Youre the object
Of my affection
Come to me
