Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 grow stronger than before
I know that flowers grow to rain, but how can love grow to pain?
[Verse 2]
Ain't that peculiar, a peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar, peculiar as can be
[Verse 3]
You tell me lies that you'll be honest to me
But I'm so much in love that I don't have to say
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 longer?
[Verse 4]
Ain't that peculiar, a peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar, peculiar as can be
[Verse 5]
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 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?
[Verse 6]
Ain't that peculiar, a peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar, peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar, a peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar, peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar, a peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar, peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar, a peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar, peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar, a peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar, peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar, ain't that peculiar
Oh, ain't that peculiar, ain't that peculiar
Ain't that peculiar, a peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar, peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar, ain't that peculiar
Ain't that peculiar, ain't that peculiar
Ain't that peculiar, ain't that peculiar
