Trio
Eddie and miss strict Lyrics

Once she dressed in silks and lace, Owned a Rolls Royce car
There was a time when she was rich and extravagant, owning a fancy car and dressing in expensive clothing.

Now she seems quite out of place, like a fallen star
But now, she feels like she doesn't fit in anymore and has lost her former glamour.

Draped around my kitchen sink, Happy as can be
But despite this, she's content just hanging around the house with him and enjoys the simple things in life.

I just have to stop and think, Why she fell for me.
And sometimes he wonders why she chose to be with him, given his humble and unremarkable nature.

I'm not much to look at, nothing to see
He doesn't consider himself attractive or particularly interesting.

Just glad I'm livin' and lucky to be
But he's grateful for what he has and feels fortunate to be alive.

I got a woman crazy for me
He knows that despite his flaws and shortcomings, she is deeply in love with him.

She's funny that way.
And he finds it amusing and somewhat puzzling that she would be so enamored with him.

I can't save a dollar, ain't worth a cent
He doesn't have much money and doesn't consider himself financially smart.

She doesn't holler she'd live in a tent
But despite this, she is patient and understanding, willing to be with him even if it means giving up material luxuries.

Tho' she loves to work and slave for me ev'ry day
She works tirelessly for him, constantly doing things to help and care for him.

She'd be so much better off if I went away.
But he recognizes that she would probably be better off without him, as he can't provide many of the things she deserves in life.

But why should I leave her, why should I go
Despite this, he can't bring himself to leave her, as he knows how much she loves and cares for him.

She'd be unhappy without me I know
And he worries that she would be miserable if he were to leave her.

She should have the very best, Anyone can see
He recognizes that she deserves the best in life, and anyone who sees her would agree.

Still she's diff'rent from the rest, satisfied with me.
But despite this, she sees something in him that she loves, and is happy just being with him regardless of his shortcomings.

While I worry plan and scheme, Over what to do
He worries and frets over what he can do to improve their situation, but doesn't see a clear solution.

Can't help feeling it's a dream, Too good to be true.
Sometimes it all seems too good to be true, and he can't help but feel like it's all just a fantasy that will soon end.

Never had nothin'; no one to care
Growing up, he didn't have much and nobody cared for him or took care of him.

That's why I seem to have more than my share,
Because of this, he feels like he's been given more than he deserves in life.

When I hurt her feelings, once in a while,
He knows that he's not perfect and sometimes does things that upset her or hurt her feelings.

Her only answer is one little smile,
But even then, she forgives him and shows him love and kindness, which fills him with gratitude.

I can see no other way and no better plan,
Though he recognizes his flaws and knows that their situation isn't ideal, he can't see any way to improve things or find a better plan.

End it all and let her go to some better man;
Sometimes he thinks it would be better if he just left her and allowed her to be with someone who can give her everything she deserves.

But I'm only human, coward at best
But he can't bring himself to leave her, as he knows he's only human and has weak moments where he feels like a coward.

I'm more than certain she'd follow me west,
And he's confident that she would follow him wherever he went, because of how much she loves him.

I got a woman crazy for me,
But ultimately, he is grateful for the love and devotion she shows him, even if it seems unreasonable or unlikely.

She's funny that way.
And he can't help but see the humor in their situation, and how unlikely it all seems.
