Smokey Robinson
Ain’t That Peculiar (Live in Japan, 1973)
[Verse 1: Jermaine Jackson & (The Jacksons)]
You do me wrong but still I'm crazy about 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 makes my love grow stronger than before
I know flowers go through rain
But how can love grow through pain? (Pain, pain)
[Chorus: Jermaine Jackson & (The Jacksons)]
Ain't that peculiar?
(Ain't that peculiar?)
Peculiar as can be
(Ain't that peculiar?)
Ain't that peculiar, baby
(Ain't that peculiar?)
Peculiar-ality
(Ain't that peculiar?)
[Verse 2: Jermaine Jackson & (The Jacksons)]
You tell me lies that should be obvious to me (You tell me lies)
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
But if the truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make our love stronger? (Stronger, stronger, stronger)
[Chorus: Jermaine Jackson & (The Jacksons)]
Ain't that peculiar?
(Ain't that peculiar?)
Peculiar as can be
(Ain't that peculiar?)
Ain't that peculiar, baby?
(Ain't that peculiar?)
Peculiar-ality
(Ain't that peculiar?)
Oh yeah
[Bridge: Jermaine Jackson & (The Jacksons)]

[Bridge: Jermaine Jackson & (The Jacksons)]

I'd like to thank Mary for presenting me with flowers
Thank you
