Ain't That Peculiar Marvin Gaye Written by: William "Smokey" Robinson/Marvin Tarplin/Robert Rogers/Warren Moore 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 Ain't that peculiar A peculiar ality 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 Ain't that peculiar A peculiar ality Ain't that peculiar baby Peculiar as can be 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 (repeat chorus)
