Gene Austin - She's Funny That Way (1928) (By Charles N. Daniels & Richard A. Whiting)

Gene Austin

Once she dressed in silks and lace and owned a Rolls Royce car
Now she seems quite out of place like a fallen star
Draped around my kitchen sink as 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.

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.
