One thing I like about that gal of mine

She treats me right and loves me all the time

Sometimes I'm broke and blue as I can be

But still my baby she looks after me
Despite the challenges, the speaker's partner takes care of them.
She walked in the rain till her feet got soaking wet
Depicting the partner's dedication by walking in the rain, enduring discomfort.
She walked in the rain till her feet got soaking wet

She walked in the rain till her feet got soaking wet

And this she said to every man she met

Mister change a dollar - gimme a lousy dime

So I can feed that hungry man of mine
