He's Funny That Way

(álbum: The Quintessential Billie Holiday, Volume 5 - 1989)

I'm not much to look at
nothing to see
just glad I'm living
and lucky to be
I've got a man crazy for me
He's funny that way

I can't save a dollar
ain't worth a cent
he doesn't hollar
he'd live in a tent
I've got that man crazy 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 mad about me
He's funny that way

Never had nothing
No one to care
That's why I seem to have
More than my share
I've got a man crazy for me
He's funny that way

When I hurt his feelings
Once in a while
His only answer is one little smile
I've got a man crazy for me
He's funny that way

I can see no other way
And no better plan
End it all and let him go
To some better gal
But I'm only human
A coward at best
I'm more than certain
He'd follow me West
I've got a man crazy for me
He's funny that way
