Ain't That Peculiar
W. Robinson, W. Moore, M. Tarpin, R. Rogers
New Grass Revival (1986)
Honey you do me wrong
But still I'm crazy about you
You stay away too long
And I can't live without you
Every chance you get
You seem to want to hurt me
More and more
But each hurt its makes my lovin
Just a little stronger than before
I know flowers grow from rain
But our love can't grow from pain
Chorus:
Ain't that peculiar
Peculiar-ality
Ain't that peculiar
Peculiar as can be
You tell me lies
That should be obvious to me
I'm so in love with you
That I don't want to see
That the things you do and say
Are just designed to make me blue
It*s a dog gone shame my love for you
Makes all your lies seem true
Well if truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make my love stronger
Chorus:
I cry so much
Just like a child that's lost his toy
Maybe you think these tears I cry
Are tears of joy
Well a child can cry so much
Till you do everything they say
But like a child my tears don't help me girl
To get my way
I know love can last for years
But our love can't last for tears
…tears
Chorus: 2 x
