Ain’t That Peculiar

Lyrics

Honey, you do me wrong And I'm crazy 'bout you You stay away too long I can't do without you, baby Every chance you get You seem to just hurt me more and more Each hurt makes my love stronger than before I know flowers can grow from rain But how can love grow from pain? Ain't that peculiar? (ain't that peculiar?) A peculiarity (ain't that peculiar?) Oh, you tell me lies It should be obvious to me But I'm so much in love with you, baby That I don't wanna see That the things you do and say Are designed to make me blue It's a such a shame, my love makes All your lies seem true But if the truth makes love last longer Why do your lies make my love stronger? Ain't that peculiar? (ain't that peculiar?) A peculiarity (ain't that peculiar?) I've cried so much I'm like a child that's lost its toy But maybe, you think these tears I cry Are tears of joy But a child can cry so much 'Til you do everything they say But I'm like a child My tears don't help me get my way (my way) I know love can last through years But how can love last through tears? Ain't that peculiar? (ain't that peculiar?) Peculiarity (ain't that peculiar?) Ain't that peculiar? (ain't that peculiar?) It's peculiar as it can be (ain't that peculiar?) I said I don't understand, baby (ain't that peculiar?) How I let you walk all over me (ain't that peculiar?) Well, I want you to know one thing, baby (ain't that peculiar?) I'm gonna find me somebody new (ain't that peculiar?) And I might find them in Seattle, I might find them in New York (ain't that peculiar?) He might be in Chicago, he might be in Long Beach, California But I tell you one thing, I'm getting sick of you (ain't that peculiar?) You ain't gon' keep on walking all over me Doing the things that you do, I know I've been too good to ya Oh yes I have, mmhm (ain't that peculiar?) But oh... (ain't that peculiar?) There's always somebody out there to take your place (ain't that peculiar?) Uh-huh, he might be in Memphis, he might be in Mississippi He might be in New York City, oh love...
