Lyrics
The Object of Her Affection
James Hammel
Her father stood for justice
Her mother saving lives
Educated and respected
A family that thrives
But she’s got her own agenda
A list of life’s to do’s
She chose him as her subject
To teach a lesson or two
He recalls their secret frolic in the summer sun
Playing in the tall grass unseen by anyone
Is she his Princess, or the queen of hearts?
Luring him so slowly as he plays his part
Ten years she’s been gone
He knows she’s back in town
A whisper on the wind
Her perfume’s all around
There’s a struggle in his heart
Dare he make a move
Can he face the answers
He’s got nothing to lose?
She’s like Mother Nature always having her way
It all goes back to the siren song he fell for that day
He hears her calling now it’s much too late
So sweet is the sound he surrenders to his fate
She plays him like a violin teasing every string in him
That tone in her voice leaving him no choice
She walks on water as far as he’s concerned
Is he her love or the object of her affection?
She plays him like a violin teasing every string in him
That tone in her voice leaving him no choice
She walks on water as far as he’s concerned.
Is he her love or the object of her affection?
Is he her love or the object of her affection?
