He's Funny That Way
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 J
ust 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.
