Lyrics

Once I dressed in silks and lace
Owned a Rolls Royce, too
Had a gorgeous country place
And diamonds, quite a few

Now around the kitchen sink
Happy as can be
I'm in love and love to think
That he's in love with me

He's not much to look at
And nothing to see
Why, he's just as plain
And poor as can be
Why do I love him?
Hmm, I don't know

I'm funny that way

Had chances of being
Some rich man's wife
Live in a mansion
The rest of my life
Why do I go through
Hardship and strife?

Why, I'm funny that way

When he sees me slaving
Just to keep up our home
He says I'd be better off
To leave him alone

But why should I leave him?
Why should I go?
He'd be unhappy
Without me, I know
Cause he's just my man
And I love him so

I'm funny that way
