She's Funny That Way
Love's Humble Comedy: She's Funny That Way by Nat King Cole
Lyrics
I'm not much to look at, nothin' to see
I don't have an impressive appearance, nothing remarkable to look at.
Just glad I'm livin' and happy to be
I'm content with being alive and grateful for it.
I got a woman, crazy for me
I have a woman who is infatuated or intensely passionate about me.
She's funny that way
She possesses a unique and amusing quality in the way she expresses her love.
I can't save a dollar, ain't worth a cent
I struggle to save money and don't have much financial worth.
She'd never holler, she'd live in a tent
She never complains or shouts, even if we were in difficult circumstances like living in a tent.
I got a woman, crazy for me
I have a woman who is passionately devoted to me.
She's funny that way
She exhibits a unique and entertaining behavior in her love for me.
Though she'd love to work
Even though she would willingly work hard for me every day.
And slave for me every day
She would be better off if I were not present.
She'd be so much better off
She would have a more fulfilling life if I were absent.
If I went away
Expressing the idea that his presence may not contribute positively to her life.
But why should I leave her, why should I go
Questioning the idea of leaving her, as he believes she would be unhappy without him.
She'd be unhappy without me, I know
Convinced that she would not be content without him in her life.
I got a woman, crazy for me
Reiterating that he has a woman who passionately loves him.
She's funny that way
Emphasizing the uniqueness and amusement in her way of expressing love.
When I hurt her feelin's once in a while
Even when he unintentionally hurts her feelings occasionally.
Her only answer is one little smile
Her response to any hurtful actions is a simple, reassuring smile.
I got a woman, crazy for me
Highlighting the intense and entertaining love she has for him.
She's funny that way
Reaffirming the unique and amusing nature of her love for him.
