Ain't That Peculiar (excerpt)

Honey, you do me wrong
But still I'm crazy about you
Stay away too long
And I can't do without you

Every chance you get you seem to
Hurt me more and more
But each hurt makes my love
Stronger than before

I know flowers go from rain
But how can love grow from pain

Ain't that peculiar
A peculiarality
Ain't that peculiar, baby
Peculiar as can be

Oh, you tell me lies
That should be obvious to me
I've been so much in love with you baby
Til I don't wanna see

That things you do and say
Are designed to make me blue
It's a doggone shame my love for you
Makes all your lies seem true

If the truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make my love stronger

Ain't that peculiar, baby
Peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar
A peculiarality

Huh, huh, huh
Hey, hey
Huh, huh, huh
Hey, hey
Huh, huh, huh
Huh, huh, huh

I cried so much just like a child
That's lost its toy
Maybe baby you think these tears I cry
Are tears of joy

A child can cry so much
Until you do everything they say
But unlike a child my tears don't help me
To get my way

I know love can last through years
But how can love last through tears

Ain't that peculiar, baby
A peculiarality
Ain't it peculiar, honeyy
Peculiar as can be

Say I don't understand it, baby
It's so strange something
Ain't it peculiar, darlin'
