    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       A7/13-    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    A7/13-  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      A7/13- 
 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       A7/13-    A7/9       D  Cdim Em7 A7 A7/13- D6 
Anytime he holds my hand and tells me that he's mine
