Lyrics of Ain't That Peculiar by Marvin Gaye
verse
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
pre-chorus
I know flowers grow from rain
But how can love grow from pain? (Pain, pain, pain, pain)
chorus
Ain't that peculiar? (Ain't that peculiar?)
A peculiarity (ain't that peculiar?)
Ain't that peculiar, baby? (Ain't that peculiar?)
Peculiar as can be (ain't that peculiar?)
verse
Oh, 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
Oh, 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
pre-chorus
But if the truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make my love stronger? (Stronger, stronger, stronger, stronger)
chorus
Ain't that peculiar, baby? (Ain't that peculiar?)
Peculiar as can be (ain't that peculiar?)
Ain't that peculiar? (Ain't that peculiar?)
A peculiarity (ain't that peculiar?)
Yeah
verse
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Hey, hey (hey, hey)
Uh, uh, uh (uh, uh, uh)
Hey, hey (hey, hey)
Uh, uh, uh, uh (uh, uh, uh, uh)
Uh, uh, uh (uh, uh, uh)
Woo
verse
I've cried so much, just like a child
That has lost its toy
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
pre-chorus
I know love can last through years
But how can love last through tears? (Tears, tears, tears, tears)
chorus
Ain't that peculiar, baby? (Ain't that peculiar?)
A peculiarity (ain't that peculiar?)
Ain't that peculiar, honey? (Ain't that peculiar?)
Peculiar as can be (ain't that peculiar?)
outro
Said I don't understand it, baby (ain't that peculiar?)
It's so strange sometimes (ain't that peculiar?)
Ain't that peculiar, darlin'? (Ain't that peculiar?)
Oh, baby
