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
