He's Funny That Way

Lyrics

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.
