Aint That Peculiar
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...
