Object Of My Affection Lyrics - Fat City - Shawn Colvin

Jump into the night, gas up and down shift 

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 

Boy, 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 got a life sentence, 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 and antidepressants 

And you're the object of my affection 

Not a phantom fantasy, yeah 

You're the object of my affection 

Come to me, hey 

And 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
