[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
But I don't mind, just don't care
I've got no objections to your touching me there
[Chorus]
Object, object
Object, object
Object, object
Object, object
[Verse 3]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
But I don't mind, no, I just don't care
I've got no objections to your touching me there
[Chorus]
You're just an object, object
You're just an object, object
You're just an object, object
You're just an object, object
Object, object
You're just an object, object
You're just an object, object
You're just an object
Object was written by Lol Tolhurst & Michael Dempsey & Robert Smith.
Object was produced by Chris Parry.
In 1988, Smith was asked what his least favorite Cure track is, to which he responded:
“Object”
Smith explained in a fanzine that this song is about:
a decisive sneer hiding a sour desire.
He also reportedly once called it:
A pastiche of a sexist song.
