Etta James - My Funny Valentine Lyrics






My funny Valentine
Sweet, comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favorite work of art

Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine, stay
And each day will be Valentine's Day

Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

Don't, please don't change a hair for me
Not if, not if you care for me
Stay little valentine, stay
And each day will be Valentine's
Every day will be, every day will be Valentine's Day

    i don't like her singing voice

    D.... ....

    Etta James was one of the great singers of her time. But 'Funny Valentine' is not one of her best. Listen to her sing 'At Last' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-cbOl96RFM
    To hear a magical cover of 'Funny Valentine', listen to Alice Fredenham....

  10. L.... ....

    Beautful version of one of my favourite standards.

  11. A.... A....

    holy fucc kanye

  12. J.... N....

    I play this song every year for myself the day after Valentine's day. Sad beautiful truth.

  13. G.... L....

    Kanye West doesn't have a damn thing to do with this song.

  14. D.... A....

    God Bless Kanye West

  15. d.... r....

    Fuck Kanye

  16. F.... P....

    Belíssima!

  17. v.... f....

    This gives me nostalgia thinking about how kanye was sampling this 12/13 years ago😫

  18. v.... f....

    Addiction😍 imo one of kanyes greatest songs

  19. R.... O....

    She sings it well for a bass.
    I prefer Sarah Vaughan's or Johnny Mathis' version.

  20. G.... E....

    I performed this song sailing on a cruise around the Mediterranean with David Curtis playing the piano It was amazing experience!!!

  21. W.... H....

    Yeezy taught me

    l.... c....

    LiL COFFiN THE BEST. Kanye may be many things, but with music, he’s an absolute genius.

    l.... c....

    Can't take that away from him. His ears are so special and unique. Unlike Puff Daddy, who would just sample any and everything that sounded good. Kanye actually took the time to "TWEAK IT" with Kanye's special sauce 🔥🔥🔥🔥😂🔥🔥🔥🔥💜💜 Daaaaammmm Yeezy Yeezy

  25. D.... S....

    God bless I found a track like this at this moment.

  26. J.... W....

    N.... i....

    N.... i....

    j.p. most people probably searched this song after finding out this was the sample used in addiction. so that’s where the views came from

  34. L.... K....

    L.... K....

  35. B.... F....

    we love who we love... it sucks

  36. T.... .....

    with few exceptions Chet's horn is perfect for her and she is perfect.

  37. M.... C....

    Just found a song to play during my mom's funeral. beautifully sung.

    M.... C....

    my very favorite version of this song..

  42. P.... H....

    Behold the way our fine feathered friend,
    His virtue doth parade
    Thou knowest not, my dim-witted friend
    The picture thou hast made
    Thy vacant brow, and thy tousled hair
    Conceal thy good intent
    Thou noble upright truthful sincere,
    And slightly dopey gent

    You're my funny valentine,
    Sweet comic valentine,
    You make me smile with my heart.
    Your looks are laughable, un-photographable,
    Yet, you're my favorite work of art.

    Is your figure less than Greek?
    Is your mouth a little weak?
    When you open it to speak, are you smart?
    But, don't change a hair for me.
    Not if you care for me.
    Stay little valentine, stay!
    Each day is Valentine's Day

    Is your figure less than Greek?
    Is your mouth a little weak?
    When you open it to speak, are you smart?
    But, don't change a hair for me.
    Not if you care for me.
    Stay little valentine, stay!
    Each day is Valentine's Day

  43. A.... O....

    love the trumpet in this song beautiful. first heard it when enjoying a coffee in the sun.

  44. w.... i....

    who was the guitar player for Time After Time? Anybody?

  45. J.... M....

    Wow, beautiful, great choice for a sample Ye, this song is lovely in its own way as well

  46. t.... ....

    To the 25 souls who felt to dislike this you have my full support. Get well soon.

  47. M.... P....

    awesomely elegant and resonant. Wonderful Etta James, completely natural

    M.... P....

    +Mike Parker Must Agree with you alexis, Mike Parker and Cosette. Love, Etta this is such a gentle ballad for her. RIP Etta James. Ted, sorry you hear it that way.

  48. P.... ....

    a little piece of my heart...

  49. A.... S....

    Кто искал эти слова из минуса Быба-Кстати лайк)

  50. A.... A....

    I'd like to hear Adele sing a cover to this!  Kanye brought me to this btw since of course I wasn't born in the time when music was actualy good and there were no samples...

    A.... A....

    le wrong generation

    A.... A....

    this is boring compared to kanyes song. don't like it

    A.... A....

    dae music instantly became bad after 2000

    A.... A....

    shut up you idiot

    A.... A....

    Music has never been bad.

  51. C.... L....

    Amazing!!! I love Etta

    C.... L....

    +Cosette Lamonsky Must Agree with you alexis, Mike Parker and Cosette. Love, Etta this is such a gentle ballad for her. RIP Etta James. Ted, sorry you hear it that way.

  52. T.... A....

    She sounds stoned

    T.... A....

    wow  I guess everyone hones in on how she used to drink/drug.   I don't think she sounds stoned at all. 

    T.... A....

    +Ted A. McElroy Must Agree with you alexis, Mike Parker and Cosette. Love, Etta this is such a gentle ballad for her. RIP Etta James. Ted, sorry you hear it that way.

  53. z.... ....

    I really wish I would have known about this song sooner. 

  54. K.... L....

    Grey's Anatomy brought me here.

  55. M.... D....

    Etta James, Chet Baker ... The best brought me here.......

  56. B.... ....

    Alice brought me here too

  57. G.... C....

    Everyone check out Kanye West-Addiction

  58. T.... ....

    this song is so beautiful.Listening to it cuts me up inside.

  59. T.... ....

    I'm sure people would. It's just people these days are so susceptible to just listen to what the media puts on a plate for them e.g. bieber, etc.

  60. E.... ....

    My name is Kim Sam Soon brought me here lol

  61. K.... D....

    To rock, rap and ect...*

  62. K.... D....

    I agree; no one would know who Etta James is if it weren't for sampling and remixes. I was lucky enough to grow up listening to everything from Etta James, nat king col, and glen Cambell ton

  63. T.... R....

    He moved on when his heart got shot down, apparently

  64. l.... ....

    I agree with you 100%. A lot of the anti-sampling people don't seem to realize that younger people get interested in the sampled artists... and actually want to spend their money on their records and concerts. Anybody who thinks sampling is horrible, go ask George Clinton what he thinks. Or David Axelrod. Or get a Ouija board and ask James Brown. XD I think the answer will surprise you.

  65. c.... ....

    Knowing good music brought me here.

  66. W.... ....

    I don't think it's sad at all. It's because of people like Kanye so many of our youth who aren't familiar with legends like Etta can now be introduced to her music. Which in my opinion is a good thing.

  67. l.... b....

    me too & she sang this song!

  68. M.... G....

    I'm so sad to read "Kanye West brought me here". Etta James MUST brought all of you here! She's a LEGEND!

  69. T.... ....

    Wtf happened to this kanye

  70. K.... S....

    To bad people recognise this as a sampled hip hop beat instead of the beautiful jazz classic it is.

  71. T.... ....

    Gawd I miss Etta

  72. a.... ....

    Kanye West brought me here

  73. S.... S....

    My heart belongs to the blued god put them there. One day..........

  74. d.... u....

    Kanye picked up a jewell from the past and represented in a way that connects with hip hop youth. Brilliant.

  75. d.... u....

    This song is so sad. An internal fight for self love.

  76. S.... ....

    Never thought I'd sat this but I prefer Alice's version it was so emotional she really reminds me of Amy even the way she moves her body on stage the hand movements and head back eyes closed.

  77. a.... ....

    Same here Alfie :)

  78. r.... ....

    !!!!!!!!!

  79. D.... A....

    she really sang this song good,...............she did this song justice........I liked her but my love for the soul and jazz and the 30'-40'-50' and 60' brought me here

  80. u.... ....

    Is your figure less than greek
    Is your mouth a little weak
    When you open it to speak
    Are you smart?

    But don't you change one hair for me
    Not if you care for me
    Stay little valentine stay
    Each day is valentines day

  81. M.... A....

    Me too! Fantastic singer.

  82. D.... ....

    Grey's Anatomy brought me here <3

  87. c.... a....

    AMBER HOLCOMB did it best

  88. M.... M....

    I wanna learn this song on guitar, but I have no idea where I could look for a tab. Anyone know where?

  89. b.... ....

    Not loving someone in spite of their imperfections, but loving them FOR their imperfections.

  90. N.... F....

    what is this song about?

  91. R.... A....

    "Good artists copy, great artists steal." - Pablo Picasso

    Are you saying that kanye is only a good artist?

  92. M.... P....

    KANYE ALSO SAMPLED THROUGH THE FIRE BY SHAKACON CLASSIC SONG BTW

  93. M.... P....

    IT'S FUNNY U SAY THAT OBVIOUSLY KANYE ISN'T AN IGNORANT RAPPER AT ALL HE'S ACTUALLY PRETTY SMART AND VERY TALENTED OTHER WISE HE WOULDN'T HAVE SAMPLED IT IN FIRST PLACE

  94. M.... P....

    KANYE WEST ADDICTION OFF LATE REGISTRATION CLASSIC CD

  95. F.... ....

    It's a travesty for Kanye to record this old old song....he's an ignorant rapper...this song is out of his class for SSUUUURE !!!
