ironic cover

Melanie Fiona

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
Who would ve thought... it figures

Mr. Play it Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and 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
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 everthing blows up in your face

A traffic jam when you re already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It s like 10, 000 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
Who would ve thought... it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
