Object of My Affection — текст песни (Shawn Colvin)

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
