Ironic
Alanis MorissetteAn old man ninety-eight
He the and died the next day
It's a black in your Chardonnay
It's a pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic, don't you think?
It's like rain on your day
It's a free when you've already paid
It's the good that you just didn't take
And who would've thought it, it
Mr. Play-It-Safe was to fly
He packed his
and his kids good-bye
He waited his whole life
to take that
And as the plane down
he thought "Well isn't this "
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
It's like rain on your wedding 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, it figures
Well life has a funny way of up on you
When you think everything's okay
and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of you out when
You think everything's wrong
and everything up in your
A traffic when you're already
A "No Smoking" on your cigarette
It's like ten thousand
when all you need is a
It's the of my dreams,
and then meeting his beautiful
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
A little too ironic,
and yeah I really do think
It's like rain on your wedding 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, it figures
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
