The sheet music:
Lyrics
- Once she dressed in silks and lace
Owned a Rolls Royce car
Now she seems quite out of place
Like a fallen star
Draped around my kitchen sink
Happy as can be
I just have to stop and think
Why she fell for me
Chorus:
I’m not much to look at, nothin’ to see
Just glad I’m living’ and lucky to be
I got a woman, crazy for me
She’s funny that way
I can’t save a dollar, ain’t worth a cent
She doesn’t holler, she’d live in a tent
I got a woman, crazy for me
She’s funny that way
Though she loves to work and slave for me every day
She’d be so much better off if I went away
But why should I leave her, why should I go
She’d be unhappy without me I know
I got a woman, crazy for me
She’s funny that way
- She should have the very best
Anyone can see
Still she’s different from the rest, satisfied with me
While I worry, plan and scheme
Over what to do
Can’t help feeling it’s a dream
Too good to be true
Chorus:
I never had nothin’, no one to care
That’s why I seem to have more than my share
I got a woman, crazy for me
She’s funny that way
When I hurt her feelings, once in a while
Her only answer is one little smile
I got a woman, crazy for me
She’s funny that way
I can see no other way and no better plan
End it all and let her go to some better man
But I’m only human, coward at best
I’m more than certain she’d follow me West
I got a woman, crazy for me
She’s funny that way
