Lyrics

[00:12.71] Honey, you do me wrong
[00:15.38] But still I'm crazy about you
[00:19.80] Stay away too long
[00:21.45] And I can't do without you
[00:25.85] Every chance you get, you seem to hurt me more and more
[00:31.35] But each hurt makes my love stronger than before
[00:36.45] I know flowers grow from rain
[00:39.68] But how can love grow from pain
[00:44.92] Ain't that peculiar?
[00:47.72] A peculiarality
[00:50.83] Ain't that peculiar, baby?
[00:53.78] Peculiar as can be
[00:57.03] Oh, you tell me lies
[00:59.40] That should be obvious to me
[01:04.03] I've been so much in love with you baby
[01:06.23] 'Til I don't want to see
[01:09.18] That things you do and say
[01:11.77] Are designed to make me blue
[01:15.15] It's a doggone shame my love for you
[01:17.89] Makes all your lies seem true
[01:20.84] If the truth makes love last longer
[01:23.87] Why do lies make my love stronger?
[01:29.06] Ain't that peculiar, baby?
[01:32.15] Peculiar as can be
[01:35.13] Ain't that peculiar?
[01:37.55] A peculiarality
[01:40.75] Hey, hey
[01:46.90] Huh, huh, huh (huh, huh, huh)
[01:50.06] Hey, hey (hey, hey)
[01:52.67] Huh, huh, huh (huh, huh, huh)
[01:55.71] Hey, hey (Hey hey)
[01:58.68] Huh, huh, huh (huh, huh, huh)
[02:01.75] Huh, huh, huh (huh, huh, huh)
[02:05.51] I cried so much just like a child
[02:08.53] That lost its toy
[02:11.21] Maybe baby, you think these tears I cry are tears of joy
[02:16.57] A child can cry so much
[02:18.70] Until you do everything they say
[02:22.20] But unlike a child, my tears don't help me
[02:26.19] To get my way
[02:27.82] I know love can last through years
[02:30.83] But how can love last through tears?
[02:36.28] Ain't that peculiar, baby
[02:39.15] A peculiarality
[02:42.44] Ain't it peculiar, honey?
[02:44.90] Peculiar as can be
[02:47.69] Said I don't understand it, baby
[02:51.02] It's so strange sometimes
[02:53.88] Ain't it peculiar, darlin'?
[02:57.85]
