Jimi Hendrix
Ain’t That Peculiar
[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 go through rain
But how can love go through pain
[Chorus]
Ain't that peculiar
A peculiar-arity
Ain't that peculiar baby
Peculiar as can be
[Verse 2]
You tell me lies that should be obvious to me
I've been so much in love with you baby til I don't want to 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 my love stronger
[Chorus]
Ain't that peculiar
Peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar baby
A peculiar-arity
[Verse 3]
I cried so much just like a child that's lost its home
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 love can last through years
But how can love last through tears
[Chorus]
Now ain't that peculiar baby
A peculiar-arity
Ain't it peculiar baby
Peculiar as can be
[Outro]
Said I don't understand it baby
It's so strange sometimes
