Ain't It Peculiar

Ain’t it peculiar, darlin'
How our love goes on and on
Ain’t it peculiar, honey
We take the bad with the wrong
You know that time after time
A misfortune smiled
Ain’t it peculiar, woman
You know we’ll laugh our way through
When will this long night of a prison ever end?
When will this long night of a prison ever end?
You know I’m ready to say that
Lord, you’re the talk of the town
The next minute, you’re busted
Just listenin' to that jailhouse sound
You know that time after time
A misfortune smiled
Ain’t it peculiar, woman
How we’ll just laugh our way through
When will this long night of a prison ever end?
When will this long night of a prison ever end?
You know, double-talk is poison
But that’s the rule of the game
Instead of back-stabbing, they practice
All the little things that drive you insane
You know that time after time
A misfortune smiled
You know, it’s so peculiar
I can still laugh my way through it
When will this long night of a prison ever end?
When will this long night of a prison ever end?
Ain’t it peculiar…
