She Cracked Lyrics
Well she was sensitive
She understood me
She understood the European things of 1943
But she does all these things that I can't stand
I can’t care if she stays with another man
She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right
Well she cracked, I won't
She did things that I don't
She'd self destroy, necessary to self enjoy
I self develop, necessary to self help
She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right
Well she cracked, I won't
She did things that I don't
She'd eat garbage, eat shit, get stoned
I stay alone, eat health food at home.
She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right.
Alright
She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right
One more time
One more time
She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right
She understood me
She understood the European things of 1943
But she does all these things that I can't stand
I can’t care if she stays with another man
She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right
Well she cracked, I won't
She'd self destroy, necessary to self enjoy
I self develop, necessary to self help
She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right
She did things that I don't
She'd eat garbage, eat shit, get stoned
I stay alone, eat health food at home.
She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right.
Alright
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right
One more time
She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right

The line about "European things from 1943" could be a reference to JP Satre's "Being and Nothingness" which was published that year. Or Richman may have just pulled a year out of the air that rhymed with "me"...
Sometimes I get the impression that Jonathan Richman isn't the biggest fan of women.
