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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
