Ain't it peculiar

Ain't it peculiar now
How our love goes on and on
Ain't it peculiar honey
We take the right 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 one minute you are sailing
Lord you're the talk of the town
The next minute you're busted
Just listening 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 all the little things that drive you insane

You know that time after time
A misfortune smiled,
You know it's peculiar
I can still laugh our 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
