The object of my affection
Can change my complexion
From white to a rosy read
Anytime she holds my hand and tells me that she's mine

There are many girls who can thrill me
And some who can chill me
But I'll just hang around
And keep acting like a clown
Until she says she's mine

Now I'm not afraid that she'll leave me
She's not the kind who takes a dare
But instead I trust her implicitly
She can go where she wants to go
Do what she wants to do
I don't care

The object of my affection
Can change my complexion
From white to a rosy read
Anytime she holds my hand and tells me that she's mine

THE OBJECT OF MY AFFECTION
(Harry Tobias / H. Coy Poe / Pinky Tomlin)

Dean Martin


The object of my affection can change my complexion from white to 
rosy red
Anytime she holds my hand, tells me that she's mine
There are many girls who can thrill me and some who can fill me with
dreams of happiness
But I know I'll never rest until she says she's mine
I'm not afraid she'll leave me cause she's not the kind who'll be
unfair
But instead I trust her implicitly
She can go where she wants and go do what she wants, I don't care
The object of my affection can change my complexion from white to
rosy red
Anytime she holds my hand and tells me that she's mine
There are many girls who can thrill me and some who can fill me with
dreams of happiness
But I know I'll never rest until she says she's mine
I'm not afraid she'll leave me cause she's not the kind who'll be
unfair
But instead I trust her implicitly
She can go where she wants and go do what she wants, I don't care
The object of my affection can change my complexion from white to
rosy red
Anytime she holds my hand and tells me that she's mine.
