Alanis Morrissette | Ironic | Don't you think | Music Video and Lyrics

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;
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... Kissed his Kids Good-Bye'
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!

It's a Traffic Jam when you're already Late!
It's 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; 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 Figures!

Life has a Funny way of Sneaking up-on you...
Life has a Funny, Funny way of Helping you Out'
Helping you Out!
