Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Wait, what?)
(Wait, what?)
(Wait, what?)
Something 'bout ya lips gives me oxygen
Breathe life to me, like nought to ten
Caught in the crossfire, I'm a lot to miss
Meet ya after lunch, knock off them glasses
Wishful thinking, got me moving classes
Waiting by your locker, locker drama
Let's sit in the back, watch Futurama
Use your imagination
I can't do it myself
Starting to lose my patience
Might get with someone else
Use your imagination
I can't do it myself
Starting to lose my patience
Might get with someone else
Funny thing about love
Funny thing about love
Funny thing about love (ooh)
Funny thing about love (ooh)
Funny thing about love
Funny thing about love
Funny thing about love (ooh)
Funny thing about love (ooh)
Never been one to lack common sense
But when I'm in your presence, I'm kinda tense
Always pride myself on confidence
But when I'm with you, it's on the fence
I can't wait to dip in your elixir
Fitness crispy creme, I'm screaming, "Help!"
Lately you been switching up the mixture
Almost like you're on to someone else
Use your imagination
I can't do it myself
Starting to lose my patience
Might get with someone else
Use your imagination
I can't do it myself
Starting to lose my patience
Might get with someone else
Funny thing about love
Funny thing about love
Funny thing about love (ooh)
Funny thing about love (ooh)
Funny thing about love
Funny thing about love
Funny thing about love (ooh)
Funny thing about love (ooh)
Come give it to me, come give it to me
Come give it to me, come give it to me
Come give it to me, come give it to me
Come give it to me, come give it to me
The song "Funny Thing About Love" by BabyJake is an upbeat and catchy tune that explores the complexities of relationships. From the opening lines, BabyJake sets a lighthearted and playful tone with the repetition of "wait, what?" before launching into a description of his love interest's lips that give him life. He describes himself as caught in the crossfire and an optimist, a mix of emotions that exemplifies the all-consuming nature of love. He imagines meeting his love interest after lunch and knocking off her glasses, a playful and flirtatious gesture that suggests a strong attraction. BabyJake then describes waiting by her locker and suggests watching the comedy show, Futurama, a way to escape the locker drama and spend some quality time together.
The chorus of the song, which repeats the phrase "funny thing about love" four times, highlights the irony and unpredictability of relationships. BabyJake admits that when he's in his love interest's presence, he loses some of his common sense and confidence. He's excited to "dip in her elixir," a sexual reference that contrasts with the humor of the crispy creme fitness line. Despite his excitement, he senses that she's "switching up the mixture" and may be interested in someone else. The song ends with a plea for her to "come give it to me," suggesting that BabyJake's attraction is still strong, even if he's not sure where their relationship is headed.
Overall, "Funny Thing About Love" is a fun and relatable song that captures the ups and downs of romantic relationships. From the playfulness of knocking off glasses to the uncertainty of sensing a possible rival, BabyJake's lyrics are humorous and insightful at the same time.
