"Ain't That Peculiar" lyrics

"Ain't That Peculiar"
(originally by Marvin Gaye)

Honey, you do me wrong but still I'm crazy about you
Stay away too long but I can't do without you
Every chance you get, you seem to hurt me more and more
But each hurt makes my love grow much stronger than before

I know flowers go from rain
But how can love grow from pain (Pain, pain)

Ain't that peculiar (Ain't that peculiar)
A peculiar-ality (Ain't that peculiar)
Ain't that peculiar, baby (Ain't that peculiar)
Peculiar as can be (Ain't that peculiar)

You tell me lies that should be obvious to me
But I'm so much in love with you, baby, 'til I don't want to see
That things you say and do are designed to make me blue
It's a doggone shame my love for you makes your lies seem true

But if the truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make my love stronger (Stronger, stronger)

Ain't that peculiar (Ain't that peculiar)
A peculiar-ality (Ain't that peculiar)
Ain't that peculiar, baby (Ain't that peculiar)
Peculiar as can be (Ain't that peculiar)

Ah-ah-ah (Ah-ah-ah)
Hey hey (Hey hey)
Ah-ah-ah (Ah-ah-ah)
Hey hey (Hey hey)
Ah-ah-ah (Ah-ah-ah)
Ah-ah-ah (Ah-ah-ah)
Ooh

I cried so much just like a child that's lost a toy
Maybe baby, you think these tears I cry are tears of joy
A child can cry so much til 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? (Tears, tears)

Ain't that peculiar (Ain't that peculiar)
Peculiar as can be (Ain't that peculiar)
Ain't that peculiar, baby (Ain't that peculiar)
A peculiar-ality (Ain't that peculiar)

Ah-ah-ah (Ah-ah-ah)
Hey hey (Hey hey)
Ah-ah-ah (Ah-ah-ah)
Hey hey (Hey hey)
Ah-ah-ah (Ah-ah-ah)
Ah-ah-ah (Ah-ah-ah)

Honey, you do me wrong but still I'm crazy about you
Stay away too long and I can't live without you
Every chance you get, you seem to hurt me more and more
But each hurt makes my love grow much stronger than before

I know flowers go from rain
But how can love grow from pain (Pain, pain)

Ain't that peculiar (Ain't that peculiar)
Peculiar as can be (Ain't that peculiar)
Ain't that peculiar, baby (Ain't that peculiar)
A peculiar-ality (Ain't that peculiar)

Ain't that peculiar (Ain't that peculiar)
Peculiar as can be (Ain't that peculiar)
Ain't that peculiar, honey (Ain't that peculiar)
A peculiar-ality (Ain't that peculiar)

Ain't that peculiar (Ain't that peculiar)
Ain't that peculiar, baby (Ain't that peculiar)
(Ain't that peculiar)
(Ain't that peculiar)
