My Funny Valentine
RICH Buddy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You make me smile with my heart,
Your looks are laughable, un-photo-graphical,
Yet you´re my favorite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak, are you smiling?
Not if you care for me.
Stay little valentine, stay!
Each day is Valentine´s Day
Each day is Valentine´s Day
In the song "My Funny Valentine" by RICH Buddy, the singer is addressing their lover, whom they consider to be their funny Valentine. The term "funny" is used to describe the lover's unique personality that makes the singer smile with their heart. The lover's looks are described as "laughable" and "un-photographic," meaning they do not conform to societal standards of beauty, yet the singer considers them to be their "favorite work of art." The song reassures the lover that they do not need to change for the singer and that they are loved just the way they are. The last line of the song "Each day is Valentine's Day" implies that the love and appreciation the singer feels for their partner is not limited to a specific day or occasion but is present every day.
