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�
