Smokey Robinson
Ain’t That Peculiar (Live)
[Verse 1]
Honey, you do me wrong but still i'm crazy about 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 from rain
But how can love grow through pain?

[Chorus]
Ain't that peculiar
A peculiar-ality
Ain't that peculiar, baby
Peculiar as can be

[Verse 2]
Oh, you tell me lies that should be obvious to me
Ah, but I'm so much in love with you, baby, 'til i don't wanna see
That things you do and say are designed to make me blue
It's a doggone shame my love for you makes all your lies seem true
If the truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make my love stronger?

[Chorus]
Ain't that peculiar, baby
Peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar
A peculiar-ality
[Bridge]
Ah yeah
One more time I want you to say
Say "Ah ah ah"
Say "Hey hey"
"Ah ah ah"
"Hey hey"
"Ah ah ah, ah ah ah"
Now now now

[Verse 3]
I cried so much just like a child that's lost a toy
Oh, maybe baby you think these tears I cry are tears of joy
But 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 love can last through years
But how can love last through tears?

[Chorus]
Ain't that peculiar, baby
Peculiar as can be
Ain't it funny
A peculiar-ality

[Outro]
I don't under-stand it
No no no, no, honey
Listen
Sometimes, I get a feeling
All in my bones, a good ol' feeling running through me
And it's alright, a good ol' feeling now now
It's alright
It's in my feet, oh, it's in my arms
It's all over me, and it's wonderful
Makes me wanna start to shout
Sometimes I feel like, honey, I wanna shout
I think I'll shout, oh, I got to shout
Na na na...
Baby, well, it's alright
Said it's alright, honey, it's alright
Woo, ain't it funny? Ain't it peculiar?
Oh baby, ain't it peculiar?
