An old man, turned 98
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
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 figures
Mr. Play-It-Safe, was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase, and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life, to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought, "Well isn't this nice?"
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 figures
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out
When you think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face
A traffic jam, when you're already late
A "No smoking" sign, on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons, when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams, and then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic?
Don't you think?
A little too ironic?
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 figures
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny, funny way, of helping you out
Helping you out

Review about Ironic Life has a funny way of helping u out... | Reviewer: monni | 10/10/09
I was little the first time I heared it.I didn't knew the words and meaning but the music and the voice have hipnotized me.This song will forever remain because this is a song for everyone.Especialy for me.Sometimes when u wont somthing too much u can;t have it ,but when u don;t think of it at all it comes right up to u in the right moment but you;re not awear of it...Ironical
It;s all in the mond,how we see things
thanx
kisses
