Ain't That Peculiar

You do me wrong but I'm still crazy 'bout 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 just makes my love stronger than before

I know that flowers grow to rain

But how can love grow to pain?

Ain't that peculiar, a peculiarity

Ain't that peculiar, peculiar as can be

You tell me lies that you'll be honest to me

But I'm so much in love that I don't see that

The things you do and say are designed to make me blue

It's a doggone shame my love that your lies seem true

If the truth makes love last longer

Why do lies make love last stronger?

Ain't that peculiar, a peculiarity

Ain't that peculiar, peculiar as can be

Oh I've cried so much just like a child that's lost his toy

Maybe baby you think these tears I cry are tears of joy

A child can cry so much and still do anything you say

Well, I'm like a child my tears don't help me get my way

I know that love can last through years

But how can love last through tears?

Ain't that peculiar, a peculiarity

Ain't that peculiar, peculiar as can be
