Ain't That Peculiar
Written by - William 'Smokey' Robinson, Marvin Tarplin, Robert Rogers & Warren Moore
Peaked at #8 - 11/65
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 peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar, baby
Peculiar as can be

You tell me lies that should be obvious to me
I've been 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 dog gone 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

I cried so much just like a child thats 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
