Honey, you do me wrong, but still I'm crazy about 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
But each hurt makes my love stronger than before
I know flowers grow to rain, but how can love grow to pain?
Ain't that peculiar, a peculiar attitude
Ain't that peculiar, baby, peculiar as can be
Oh, you tell me lies that should be honest to me
But I'm so much in love with you, baby, that I don't want to see
That the things you do and say are designed to make me blue
It's a dog bone shame, my love for you makes all your lies seem true
If the truth makes love last longer, why do the lies make my love stronger?
Ain't that peculiar, baby, peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar, peculiar as can be
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
I've tried too much to look like a child, like a lost boy
Maybe, baby, you think these tears I cry are tears of joy
A child can cry so much until you do everything they say
But unlike a child, my tears don't help me to get my way
I know that love can last for years, but how can love last through tears?
Ain't that peculiar, baby, peculiar as can be
Ain't it peculiar, darling, peculiar as can be
Said I don't understand it, baby, it's so strange sometimes
Ain't it peculiar, darling, oh, baby
