A Guy Is A Guy
Peggy Lee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why he left me I don't know,
I loved him more than I could show;
I've always had him on my mind,
He's just my kind!

Didn't even say goodbye,
He never liked to see me cry,
Afraid my tears might change his mind,
He's just my kind!

Mine was an ordinary man,
Not the type you'd notice passin' by.
When he came along my life began,
And I'll love him till the day I die.

Take him back? Well I should say!
I'd even meet him on the way.
Though he's not worth it I don't mind,
He's just my kind!

Take him back? Well I should say!
I'd even meet him on the way.





Though he's not worth it I don't mind,
He's just my kind, just my kind!

Why Don't You Do Right - Casey Abrams - Lyrics
You had plenty money 1922
You let other women make a fool of you
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?

Get out of here and get me some money too?
You're sitting there wondering what it's all about
You ain't got no money, they will throw you out
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too?

Musical Interlude

You had plenty money 1922
You let other women make a fool of you
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too?
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
