Lyrics

Never had nothing, no one to care
That's why
I seem to have more than my share
I've got a man crazy for me
He's funny that way
When I hurt his feelings once in a while
His only answer is one little smile
I've got that man crazy for me
He's funny that way
I can see no other way and no better plan
End it all and let him go, to some better gal
But I'm only human, a coward at best
I'm more than certain, he'd follow me west
Though he loves to work and slave for me everyday
He'd be so much better off, if
I went away
But why should
I leave him, why should
I go?He'd be unhappy without me
I knowI've got that man crazy for me
He's funny that way
