If I Were An Object

If I were an object
I would be a guitar
So that my man would hold me
Close to his heart

He'll hold me, carress me
Touch me, fondle me
And I'll have no recourse but to sing
The sweetest song he'll ever hear

If I were an object of desire
I'd be his guitar
For I know he will never go far

I'll be his sole obsession
a life-long affliction
Subject to his unwavering
affection and dedication

I will conquer his soul
He will be my possession
In return I will grant him
His longed-for absolution

And he will never want to put me down
For he can never get enough of that sound

The notes he'll never reach
The song that makes him weep
The sound of a woman...
... still sighing... while he sleeps....
