He’s Funny That Way Songtext
von Etta James

I′m not much to look at, nothing to see
Just glad I'm livin′, I'm 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 holler, he'd live in a tent
I′ve got that man crazy for me
He's funny that way

Oh, he loves to work and slave for me every day
Oh, he′d be, he'd be so much, so much better off if I went away

Oh, but why should I leave him? Why should I go?
He'd be unhappy without me, I know
I′ve got a man crazy for me
Oh, it′s funny, funny that way


Never had nothin', no one to care
That′s why I seem to have more than my share
I've got a man that′s crazy for me
Oh, he's funny that way

When I hurt his feelings once in a while
His only answer is one, one little smile
And I, and I′ve got that man so crazy for me
He's funny, funny that way

I can see no other way
Oh, and no, no better plan
End it all, end it all and let him go, let him go
To some better, some better gal

Oh, I'm only human, a coward at best
And I′m more than certain he′ll follow me west
I've got a man wild about me
He′s funny that way

I've got a man, I′ve got a man
He's funny that way
