Shawn Colvin - Object Of My Affection lyrics

Gas up and downshift

Cruise up the coast

On the FM drift

It's a crazy world

On the head of a pin

Some other time

Some other star

I might've cried but now

You only need to look so far

As the smile on my face

To see the shape I'm 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

It's not flesh and blood

I tried looking for love

But I guess it's true

You don't look for love

It's gonna look for you

Well you found me, honey

And you sound so good

You're the object

Of my affection

Not a dream

Or make believe

You're 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

You're the object

Of my affection

Not a phantom fantasy

You're the object

Of my affection

Come to me

You're the object

Of my affection

Not a toy with batteries

You're the object

Of my affection

Not a rescue remedy

You're the object

Of my affection

Come to me
