MIKE AND THE MECHANICS lyrics - Ain't That Peculiar

[From the album "Nobody's Child - Romanian Angel Appeal", 1990]



Honey now, you do me wrong but still I'm crazy 'bout you

Stay away too long and I can't do with out you

Never change again you seem to hurt me more and more

But each hurt makes my love stronger than before



I know that flowers grow from rain

How can love grow from pain, grow from pain



Ain't that peculiar

Ain't that peculiar

Ain't that peculiar

Ain't that peculiar



You tell me lies, but you should be honest to me

But I'm so much in love with you baby I don't wanna see

The things you do and say are designed to make me blue

There's a doubt of shame my love for you make all you're lies seem true



But if the truth make a love man stronger

Why do lies make love stronger, stronger



Ain't that peculiar

Ain't that peculiar

Ain't that peculiar

Ain't that peculiar



I cried so much just like a child that's lost a toy

Maybe baby you think these tears I cry are tears of joy

The child it cries so much but you can do everything they say

But unlike a child my tears don't help me get my way



I know love can last through years

How can love last through tears, last through tears



Ain't that peculiar
