He's Funny That Way [Alternate]

Neil Moret, Richard Whiting

Once he dressed in tweeds and drapes
Owned a Rolls-Royce car
Now he seems quite out of place
Like a fallen star
While I worry, plan and scheme
Over what to do
Can't help feeling it's a dream
He's just too good to be true

I'm not much to look at
I'm 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

I 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 me
He's funny that way

Though he loves to work and slave
For me every day
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
