she's funny that way
Once she dressed in silks and lace, Owned a Rolls Royce car Now she seems quite out of place, like a fallen star Draped around my kitchen sink , Happy as can be I just have to stop and think, Why she fell for me.  I'm not much to look at, nothing to see Just glad I'm livin' and lucky to be I got a woman crazy for me She's funny that way.  I can't save a dollar, ain't worth a cent She doesn't holler she'd live in a tent I got a woman crazy for me She's funny that way.  Tho' she loves to work and slave for me ev'ry day She'd be so much better off if I went away.  But why should I leave her, why should I go She'd be unhappy without me I know I got a woman crazy for me She's funny that way.  She should have the very best, Anyone can see Still she's diff'rent from the rest, satisfied with me. While I worry plan and scheme, Over what to do Can't help feeling it's a dream, Too good to be true.   Never had nothin'; no one to care That's why I seem to have more than my share, I got a woman, crazy for me, She's funny that way.  When I hurt her feelings, once in a while, Her only answer is one little smile, I got a woman crazy for me. She's funny that way.  I can see no other way and no better plan, End it all and let her go to some better man; But I'm only human, coward at best I'm more than certain she'd follow me west, I got a woman crazy for me, She's funny that way.
