Ironic

Alanis Morissette

An old ₍₁₎  turned ninety-eight
He won the ₍₂₎  and died the next ₍₃₎
It's a black ₍₄₎  in your Chardonnay
It's a death row ₍₅₎  two ₍₆₎  too late
Isn't it ironic ... don't you think


It's like ₍₇₎  on your  ₍₈₎
It's a free ₍₉₎   when you've already paid
It's the good ₍₁₀₎  that you just didn't take
Who would've thought ... it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his ₍₁₁₎  and kissed his ₍₁₂₎  good-bye
He waited his whole damn₍₁₃₎  to take that ₍₁₄₎

And as the ₍₁₅₎  crashed down he thought
'Well isn't this nice...'
And isn't it ironic ... don't you think

It’s like rain….

Well ₍₁₆₎  has a funny ₍₁₇₎  of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And ₍₁₈₎  has a funny ₍₁₉₎  of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your ₍₂₀₎

It's a ₍₂₁₎  when you're already late

It's a no-smoking ₍₂₂) on your cigarette ₍₂₃)
It's like ten thousand ₍₂₄₎  when all you need is a ₍₂₅₎ 
It's meeting the ₍₂₆₎  of my ₍₂₇₎
And then meeting his beautiful ₍₂₈₎
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
A little too ironic... and yeah I really do think...


Well, ₍₂₉₎  has a funny ₍₃₀₎  of sneaking up on you
And, ₍₃₁₎  has a funny, funny ₍₃₂₎  of helping you out
Helping you out…
