Lyrics My Funny Valentine

My Funny Valentine is a song from the 1937 musical comedy Babes in Arms composed by Richard Rodgers, with lyrics by Lorenz Hart. The song has become a jazz standard and was covered by many artists. The lyrics subtly discuss an unconditional love for someone who apparently has flaws, but is unconditionally loved by the sender.

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?
But don't change a hair for me,
Not if you care for me -
Stay, little val - en - tine, stay!
Each day is val - en - tine's day.
But don't change a hair for me,
Not if you care for me -
Stay, little val - en - tine, stay!
Each day is val - en - tine's day.
