As recorded by Marvin Gaye (From the 1966 Album MOODS OF MARVIN GAYE) [Intro] E7 [Verse 1]
E
Honey you do me wrong but still I'm crazy about you

E
Stay away too long and I can't do without you

A
Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more

E                   A       E
But each hurt makes my love stronger than before

       B
I know flowers go through rain

            A               
But how can love go through pain
[Chorus]
             E
Ain't that peculiar

E
A peculiar-ality

E
Ain't that peculiar baby

E                 A
Peculiar as can be
[Verse 2]
E
You tell me lies that should be obvious to me

E
I've been so much in love with you baby 'till I don't wanna see

     A
That things you do and say are designed to make me blue

       E                
It's a doggone shame my love for you makes all

E
Your lies seem true

           B                     
But if the truth makes love last longer

       A
Why do lies make my love stronger  (stronger, stronger, stronger)
[Chorus]
             E
Ain't that peculiar

E
A peculiar-ality

E
Ain't that peculiar baby

E                A        E
A peculiar-arity, hey, hey
[Interlude] E B A E [Verse 3]
E               
I cried so much just like a child that's lost its toy

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

A
A child can cry so much until you do everything they say

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

       B
I know love can last through years

            A
But how can love last through tears (tears, tears, tears)
[Chorus]
                 E           A 
Now ain't that peculiar baby?

E             A
Peculiar-arity

           E             A
Ain't it peculiar, honey?

E                 A
Peculiar as can be
[Outro]
                  E             A
Said I don't understand it baby

        E                A
It's so strange sometimes

           E               A
Ain't it peculiar, darling?
