Object of My Affection
S. Colvin/J. Leventhal 

         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
