Ain’t That Peculiar Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You do me wrong but still I'm crazy about you
Stay away too long when I can't live without you
Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more
But hurt just makes my love grow stronger than before
I know flowers grow in the rain
But how can love grow in the pain?
[Chorus]
Ain't that peculiar? Peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar? Peculiar as can be
[Verse 2]
You tell me lies
And should be honest to me
I'm so much in love
That I don't have to see
Things you do and say
Are designed to make me blue
It's a doggone darn shame
My love will make all your lies seem true
If the truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make love stronger?
[Chorus]
Ain't that peculiar? Peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar? Peculiar as can be
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
I cry so much just like a child who's lost his toy
Maybe baby, you think these tears I cry are tears of joy
A child can cry so much, you do anything you say
When like a child, my tears don't help me get my way
I know love can last through years
How can love last through tears?
[Chorus]
Ain't that peculiar? Peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar? Peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar? Peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar? Peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar? Peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar? Peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar? Peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar? Peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar? Peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar? Peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar? Ain't that peculiar?
Ain't that peculiar? Ain't that peculiar?
Ain't that peculiar? Peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar? Peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar? Ain't that peculiar?
Ain't that peculiar? Ain't that peculiar?
Ain't that peculiar? Ain't that peculiar?
