Ain’t That Peculiar Smokey Robinson (Ft. James Taylor)

[Intro: Smokey Robinson]
Ooh, ain't that peculiar

[Verse 1: James Taylor, with Smokey Robinson]
Oh, honey, you do me wrong, but I'm still crazy about you
Stay away too long and I can't live without you
Every chance you get, you seem to hurt me more and more
Mmm, every hurt makes my love that much stronger than before
They say that flowers can grow from rain
Maybe my love can grow from pain

[Chorus: James Taylor, Smokey Robinson]
Ain't that peculiar, peculiarity (Ain't that peculiar)
Isn't that peculiar, darling? Peculiar as can be
Peculiar as can be (Ain't that peculiar)

[Verse 2: Smokey Robinson, with James Taylor]
You tell me lies that should be obvious to me
But I'm so much in love with you, baby, 'til I don't wanna see
That the things you do and say are designed to make me blue
(Designed to make me blue)
It's a doggone shame my love for you makes all your lies seem true
(All your lies seem true)
But if the truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make my love stronger?
(Stronger) Stronger
