[Verse 1] An old friend sends you a Facebook request You only find out they're racist after you accept There's free office cake on the first day of your diet It's like they announce a new iPhone the day after you buy it And isn't it ironic, don't you think? [Chorus 1] It's like swiping left on your future soulmate It's a Snapchat that you wish you had saved It's a funny tweet that nobody faves And who would've thought it figures [Verse 2] It's a traffic jam when you try to use Waze A no-smoking sign when you brought your vape It's 10,000 male late-night hosts when all you want is just one woman, seriously! It's singing the duet of your dreams, and then Alanis Morissette shouting at you And isn't it ironic, don't you think? A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think [Chorus 2] It's like you're first cla** on a Southwest plane Then you realize that every seat is the same It's like Amazon but your package never came And who would've thought it figures [Chorus 3] It's like Netflix but you own DVDs It's a free ride but your Uber's down the street It's singing “Ironic,” but there are no ironies And who would've thought it figures [Bridge] Life has a funny, funny way of sneaking up on you ... of helping you out
