Ain't That Peculiar
Love's Peculiar Dance: Embracing Pain for a Stronger Bond
Lyrics
Honey you do me wrong but still I'm crazy about you
Honey, despite your wrongdoings, I still have strong feelings for you.
Stay away too long and I can't do without you
When you're absent for a long time, I find it hard to cope without you.
Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more
It seems like every opportunity you get, you cause me more emotional pain.
But each hurt makes my love stronger than before
Despite the hurt, my love for you intensifies.
I know flowers go through rain
I understand that flowers endure rain (difficult times).
But how can love go through pain
But how can love endure so much pain?

You tell me lies that should be obvious to me
Accusation of being dishonest, although it's difficult for the speaker to acknowledge due to deep love.
I've been so much in love with you baby til I don't want to see
The depth of love causes denial or blindness towards obvious lies and faults.
That things you do and say are designed to make me blue
Recognizing that the actions and words of the partner are intended to cause sadness.
It's a doggone shame my love for you makes all
The intensity of love makes the partner's lies seem believable.
Your lies seem true
Despite being lies, the love amplifies their perceived truth.
But if the truth makes love last longer
Questioning why truth, which usually sustains love, doesn't make it stronger in this case.
Why do lies make my love stronger
Curiosity about why lies, which should weaken love, actually make it stronger.

I cried so much just like a child that's 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
Describing how a child's excessive crying can lead to getting their way, unlike the speaker's situation.
But unlike a child my tears don't help me to get my way
Contrasting the speaker's tears with those of a child, indicating their tears don't influence outcomes.
I know love can last through years
Recognizing that love can endure over time.
But how can love last through tears
Questioning how love can withstand such emotional distress.
