Lyrics She's Funny That Way - Bobby Hackett, Jackie Gleason

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
