She's Funny That Way
Erroll Garner Lyrics

Once she dressed in silks and lace, Owned a Rolls Royce car
There was a time when she lived a luxurious life, having expensive clothing and owning a Rolls Royce car.

Now she seems quite out of place, like a fallen star
But now she looks like someone who has lost everything, like a faded star.

Draped around my kitchen sink , Happy as can be
She's draped around my kitchen sink, very content and carefree.

I just have to stop and think, Why she fell for me.
I often wonder why she chose me over others and fell in love with someone like me.

I'm not much to look at, nothing to see
I'm not a good-looking person, there is nothing special in my looks.

Just glad I'm livin' and lucky to be
But I feel fortunate and privileged to be alive.

I got a woman crazy for me
I have a very passionate and intense woman in my life who loves me deeply.

She can't save a dollar, ain't worth a cent
She isn't good at saving money and doesn't have much financial worth.

She doesn't holler she'd live in a tent
But she's not complaining, even if she has to live in a small tent.

Tho' she loves to work and slave for me ev'ry day
Although she works hard for me every day, without any complaints.

She'd be so much better off if I went away.
She could have a better life if I leave her and go away.

But why should I leave her, why should I go
But I cannot leave her because I love her so much.

She'd be unhappy without me I know
Because I'm sure she will be devastated and unhappy without me.

She should have the very best, Anyone can see
She deserves the very best things in life, and anyone can see it.

Still she's diff'rent from the rest, satisfied with me.
But she's different from others, content and satisfied with me.

While I worry plan and scheme, Over what to do
I often worry and think about what to do, how to make her happy.

Can't help feeling it's a dream, Too good to be true.
Sometimes, I feel like it's all a dream, too perfect to be true.

Never had nothin'; no one to care
I never had anything in my life, and no one ever cared about me.

That's why I seem to have more than my share,
That's why it feels like I have more than I deserve.

When I hurt her feelings, once in a while,
Although I try my best not to, sometimes I hurt her feelings.

Her only answer is one little smile,
But she never complains or blames me; instead, she smiles and forgives me.

I can see no other way and no better plan,
Sometimes, I cannot think of any other way or better plan.

End it all and let her go to some better man;
In such moments, I think of giving up and letting her go to someone who can take better care of her.

But I'm only human, coward at best
But I'm only human after all, sometimes a coward who cannot take difficult decisions.

I'm more than certain she'd follow me west,
But I'm sure that she would follow me wherever I go, even to the west.

I got a woman crazy for me,
I have a woman who is insanely in love with me.

She's funny that way.
She's funny because she loves me despite my imperfections and loves me unconditionally.
