Now I got a gal just different and though I know she's true

She's never really happy that gal she's feelin' blue

But I know my baby loves me in her own peculiar way

Yes my baby really loves me in her own peculiar way

Now I left her my apartment when I was out of town

When I got back I found that she had to burn the building down

But I know my baby loves me in her own peculiar way

Yes my baby really loves me in her own peculiar way

[ guitar ]

Now she took occurs and cooking and filled my heart with glee

Till I detected poison in the cake she baked for me

But I know my baby loves me in her own peculiar way

Yes my baby really loves me in her own peculiar way

Now she went down to the corner to catch a picture show

She said I'll see you later but that was twenty years ago

But I know my baby loves me in her own peculiar way

Yes my baby really loves me in her own peculiar way
