Object of My Affection

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 (Come to me)

Oh some other time

Or some other star

I might've cried but now

You only need to look so far

As the smile on my face (Come to me)

To see the shape I'm in (Come to me)

You try love in a bottle

Try love in a box

Play it all night long

Dance 'til you drop

And it sure got soul baby

But it's not flesh and blood (Come to me)

Well 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 (Come to me)

And you sound so good (Come to me)

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 got a life sentence (Come to me)

Oh yeah

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 (Come to me)

And antidepressants (Come to me)

You're the object

Of my affection

Not a phantom fantasy, yeah

You're the object

Of my affection

Come to me

Hey!

You're the object

Of my affection

Not a toy with batteries

You're the object

Of my affection

Not a rescue remedy, oh no

You're the object

Of my affection

Come to me
