You know you turn me on
Eyes so white and legs so long
But don’t try to talk to me
I won’t listen to your lies
You’re just an object in my eyes
You’re just an object in my eyes

Sophisticated smile
You seduce in such fine style
But don’t try to fool me
’cause I can see through your disguise
You’re just an object in my eyes
You’re just an object in my eyes

But I don’t mind
I just don’t care
I’ve got no objection
To you touching me there

Object object
Object object
Object object
Object object

You know just what to do
Lick your lips
And I want you
But don’t try to hold me
’cause I don’t want any ties
You’re just an object in my eyes
You’re just an object in my eyes

But I don’t mind
I just don’t care
I’ve got no objections
To you touching me there
You’re just an object object
Object object
You’re just an object

About Lyrics and Object by The Cure

The lyrics to Object are the words, verses and chorus for the song released by The Cure in 1979. Elements of the lyrics to Object are both direct in meaning and also metaphorical with the real meanings of the song only known by The Cure and any collaborating writers working on the lyrics for Object back when it was created.

Some people have an interest in the etymology behind words and phrases. You can take apart the lyrics to Object by The Cure in a number of ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Object" means the words set to the music of Object, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by The Cure. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Object and the lyrics to Object are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of The Cure who came here looking just for the lyrics to Object, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
