Lyrics for He's Funny That Way - Live At The Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles,1946

Not much to look at, nothing to see I'm glad I'm living and I'm lucky to be But I've got a man crazy for me He's funny that way Ain't got a dollar, can't save a cent He doesn't holler, he'd live in a tent I've got that man mad about for me He's funny that way Though he loves to work and slave for me everyday He'd be so much better off if I went away But why should I leave him? Why should I go? He'd be unhappy without me, I know I've got that man crazy for me He's funny that way I can't see no other way Ain't no better plan End it all and let him go To some other girl But I'm only human A coward at best I'm more than certain He'd follow me West I've got that man crazy for me He is funny that way
