Ah honey you do me wrong but still I’m crazy ‘bout you
You stay away too long and I can't do without you
Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more
Each hurt it makes my love a little stronger than before
I know flowers grow from rain
But how can my love grow from pain

Ain't that peculiar baby (ain't that peculiar)
Peculiarity (ain't that peculiar)
Ain't that peculiar darling (ain't that peculiar)
Peculiar as can be (ain't that peculiar)

You tell me lies that should seem obvious to me
I am so much in love with you baby that I just don't wanna see
The things you do and say are designed to make me blue
It's a doggone shame my love for you darling
Makes all your lies seem true
But if the truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make my love stronger (stronger)

Ain't that peculiar baby (ain't that peculiar)
Peculiarity (ain't that peculiar)
Ain't that peculiar honey (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)
Oh ah ah ah (ah ah ah)
Hey babe (ah ah ah)
Oh

I cried so much just like a child that’s lost a toy
Maybe things will change and I’ll cry my tears of joy
A child can cry so much until you do everything they say
But unlike a child my tears won't cause me to get my way
I know love can last through years
How can my love last through tears (tears)

Ain't that peculiar baby (ain't that peculiar)
Peculiarity (ain't that peculiar)
Ain't that peculiar darling (ain't that peculiar)
Peculiar as can be (ain't that peculiar)
Ain't that peculiar baby (ain't that peculiar)
Oh peculiarity (ain't that peculiar)
Yeah ain't that peculiar (ain't that peculiar)
Oh peculiar as can be (ain't that peculiar)
Hey ahahah (ain't that peculiar)
Hey hey (ain't that peculiar)
Ah ah ah (ain't that peculiar)
Oh baby (ain't that peculiar)
Oh ain't that peculiar (ain't that peculiar)
I am gonna save this dream
Ain't that peculiar (ain't that peculiar)
Peculiarity (ain't that peculiar)
Ah ah ah
