Joni Mitchell
Object of My Affection
[Verse 1]
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)
[Verse 2]
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)
[Verse 3]
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)
[Verse 4]
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)
[Chorus]
You're the object
Of my affection
Not a dream
Or make believe
You're the object
Of my affection
Come to me
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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)
[Chorus]
You're the object
Of my affection
Not a phantom fantasy, yeah
You're the object
Of my affection
Come to me
Hey!
[Slide Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
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
