She's Funny That Way
Al Casey Combo Lyrics

Once she dressed in silks and lace, Owned a Rolls Royce car
She used to live a luxurious life, dressed in fancy clothes and owned an expensive car.

Now she seems quite out of place, like a fallen star
Her current situation seems entirely different from her previous life; it's like she's lost her spark and is now struggling.

Draped around my kitchen sink, Happy as can be
She finds joy in simple things and is content in being in the kitchen with the singer.

I just have to stop and think, Why she fell for me.
The artist is amazed that she chose him as her partner and wonders what made her choose him.

I'm not much to look at, nothing to see
The artist doesn't consider himself attractive or significant in any way.

Just glad I'm livin' and lucky to be
The singer is glad to be alive and feels lucky to have what he has.

I got a woman crazy for me, She's funny that way.
The singer has a woman who loves him deeply, and he finds her behavior amusing.

I can't save a dollar, ain't worth a cent
The artist is not good at saving money and doesn't have much financial value.

She doesn't holler she'd live in a tent
Despite the artist's financial instability, she would still choose to live with him even in the most bare minimum conditions.

Tho' she loves to work and slave for me ev'ry day
She is happy to work hard for the artist despite any difficulties or challenges.

She'd be so much better off if I went away.
The singer feels that the woman would be better off without him, but he doesn't want to leave her.

But why should I leave her, why should I go
The artist is confused and sees no reason to leave or abandon the woman he loves.

She'd be unhappy without me, I know
The singer is confident that she would not be happy without him.

She should have the very best, anyone can see
The woman deserves the best things in life, and anyone can see that.

Still she's diff'rent from the rest, satisfied with me.
Despite the woman deserving the best, she is content just being with the singer and doesn't seek material things to be happy.

While I worry plan and scheme, Over what to do
The artist is constantly worried and stressed about what decisions to make.

Can't help feeling it's a dream, Too good to be true.
The artist feels that his current situation is too good to be real and that he might wake up soon from this dream.

Never had nothin'; no one to care
The singer didn't have much in life, and nobody cared for him before he met this woman.

That's why I seem to have more than my share,
The singer feels that he has more than he deserves in life because of the love he found.

When I hurt her feelings, once in a while,
Despite his best intentions, the artist can occasionally hurt the woman's feelings.

Her only answer is one little smile,
Despite being hurt, the woman's response is still a small smile, indicating that she still loves and forgives the artist.

I can see no other way and no better plan,
The artist can't come up with any other feasible solutions or plans to their situation.

End it all and let her go to some better man;
The singer considers ending the relationship and letting the woman go to someone better.

But I'm only human, coward at best,
The artist admits that he is human and is more likely to make mistakes, such as being cowardly in this situation.

I'm more than certain she'd follow me west,
Despite ending the relationship, the singer believes that the woman loves him so much that she will follow him wherever he goes.

I got a woman crazy for me, She's funny that way.
The singer reiterates that he has a woman who loves him deeply and still finds her behavior amusing.
