Object Of My Affection by Shawn Colvin

Object Of My Affection lyrics
Jump into the night
 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
