[Lyric] Aint That Peculiar (Booker T. Jones)

[Verse 1]
You do me wrong, but I'm still crazy 'bout you
Stay away too long and I can't do without you
Every chance you get, you seem to hurt me more and more
Each hurt just makes my love stronger than before

[Pre-Chorus]
I know flowers grow to rain
But how can love grow with pain?

[Chorus]
Ain't that peculiar, a peculiar-ality
Ain't that peculiar, baby
As peculiar as can be

[Verse 2]
You tell me lies that you'll be honest with me
I'm so in love that I don't want to see
The things you do and say, or desire to make me blue
It's a doggone shame that our love
Makes all your lies seem true
[Pre-Chorus]
If the truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make my love stronger?

[Chorus]
Ain't that peculiar, a peculiar-ality
Ain't that peculiar, baby
As peculiar as can be

[Verse 3]
I've cried so much just like a child that lost his toy
Baby baby, you think these tears I cry are tears of joy
A child can cry so much until you do everything they say
Unlike a child, my tears don't help me get my way

[Pre-Chorus]
I know that love can last for years
But how can love last through tears?

[Chorus]
Ain't that peculiar, a peculiar-ality
Ain't that peculiar, baby
A-peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar, honey
A peculiar-ality
Ain't that peculiar, baby
As peculiar as can be
[Outro]
Ain't that peculiar, a peculiar-ality
Ain't that peculiar, baby
A-peculiar as can be, ho-do-do do-do
Ho-do-do do-do do-do do do, do-do do do
Do do do-do, do-do do do do do
Do-do-do-do-do-do do-do do do
Hoo-do, do do do-do-do-do-do-do hoo-do
Hoo-do-do-do do-do, do-do do-do do do do-do
Do-do-do-do do, hoo-do-do-do
Do-do do-do, hoo-do-do-do-do
