"Ain't That Peculiar" lyrics - MIKE AND THE MECHANICS

[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
