Words & Music by Pinky Tomlin, Coy Poe & Jimmy GrierRecorded by The Boswell Sisters, 1934
D A7 D9 A7
The object of my affection can change my complexion
G A7 G
From white to a rosy red,
Em7 G/B A7 A7+5 A7/9 D Cdim Em7 A7
Anytime he holds my hand and tells me that he's mine.
D A7 D9 A7
There are many boys who thrill me, and some who can chill me,
G A7 G
But I'll just hang around,
Em7 G/B A7 A7+5 A7/9 D
And keep acting like a clown until he says he's mine.
Bridge:
Em7 G/B A7 Em7 A7/9
Now I'm not afraid that he'll leave me;
D6 D A7 G D6
He's not the kind who takes a dare.
F#m B7 F#m B7
But instead I trust him implicitly --
E7/9
He can go where he wants to go,
Cdim A7 A7+5
Do what he wants to do, I don't care.
D A7 D9 A7
The object of my affection can change my complexion
G A7 G
From white to a rosy red,
Em7 G/B A7 A7+5 A7/9 D Cdim Em7 A7 A7+5 D6
Anytime he holds my hand and tells me that he's mine.
