Ironic

Ironic Lyrics

[Intro]
Hey, yeah, yeah
Yeah, ah-ah-ah, yeah, hey

[Verse 1]
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late

[Pre-Chorus]
And isn't it ironic?
Don't you think?

[Chorus]
It's like rain on your weddin' day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures

[Verse 2]
Mr. Play-It-Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye-ye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down, he thought, "Well, isn't this nice?"

[Pre-Chorus]
And isn't it ironic?
Don't you think?

[Chorus]
It's like rain on your weddin' day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures

[Bridge]
Well, life has a funny way of sneakin' up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's goin' right
And life has a funny way of helpin' ya out
When you think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face

[Verse 3]
A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all ya need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams and then meeting his beautiful wife, hm

[Pre-Chorus]
And isn't it ironic?
Don't you think?
A little too ironic
And, yeah, I really do think

[Chorus]
It's like rain on your weddin' day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures

[Outro]
And, yeah, well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny, funny way of helpin' you out
Helpin' you out
