SHE'S FUNNY THAT WAY 
(Richard A. Whiting / Neil Moret)
Frank Sinatra - 1952


I'm not much to look at, I'm nothing to see
I'm just glad I'm living, lucky to be 
I've got a woman who's crazy 'bout me
She's funny that way

I can't save a dollar, I ain't worth a cent
She doesn't holler, she'd live in a tent
I've got a woman, crazy 'bout me
She's funny that way 

Though she loves to work and slave for me every 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've got a woman who's crazy 'bout me
She's funny that way

Never had nothin', no-one to care,
That's why I seem to have more than my share!
I've got a man crazy for me,
He's funny that way!

When I hurt his feelin's, once in a while,
His only answer is one little smile!
I've got that man crazy for me,
He's funny that way!

I can see no other way and no better plan;
End it all and let him go to some better gal!

But I'm only human, a coward at best,
I'm more than certain he'd follow me west!
I've got that man crazy for me,
He's funny that way!

Though he loves to work and slave for me every day,
He'd be so much better off if I went away!

But why should I leave him, why should I go?
He'd be unhappy without me, I know!
I've got that man crazy for me,
He's funny that way!
