Ain't It Funny
Caddillac Tah/Ja Rule/Jennifer Lopez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Estoy loca
Enamorada, de ti

It seemed to be like the perfect thing for you and me
It's so ironic you're what I had pictured you to be
But there are facts in our lives
We can never change
Just tell me that you understand and feel the same
This perfect romance that I've created in my mind
I'd live a thousand lives
Each one with you right by my side
But yet we find ourselves in a less than perfect circumstance
And so it seems like we'll never have the chance

Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny (Oh)
And you can't move on even though you try (Oh)
Ain't it strange when you're feeling things you shouldn't feel
Oh, I wish this could be real
Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life (Oh)
And you don't want to face what's wrong or right (No)
Ain't it strange how fate can play a part
In the story of your heart

Sometimes I think that a true love can never be
I just believe that somehow it wasn't meant for me
Life can be cruel in a way that I can't explain
And I don't think that I could face it all again
I barely know you but somehow I know what you're about
A deeper love I've found in you
And I no longer doubt
You've touched my heart and it altered every plan I've made
And now I feel that I don't have to be afraid

Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny (Oh)
And you can't move on even though you try (Oh)
Ain't it strange when you're feeling things you shouldn't feel
Oh, I wish this could be real
Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life (Oh)
And you don't want to face what's wrong or right (No)
Ain't it strange how fate can play a part
In the story of your heart

I locked away my heart
But you just set it free
Emotions I felt
Held me back from what my life should be
I pushed you far away
And yet you stayed with me
I guess this means
That you and me were meant to be

Oh

Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny
And you can't move on even though you try
Ain't it strange when you're feeling things you shouldn't feel
Oh, I wish this could be real, oh yeah, oh yeah
Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life
And you don't want to face what's wrong or right, no no
Ain't it strange how fate can play a part
In the story of your heart, oh yeah

Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny (Funny)
And you can't move on even though you try (Even if you try)
Ain't it strange when you're feeling things you shouldn't feel
Baby, ain't it funny how
Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life (Change your life)
And you don't want to face what's wrong or right (Wrong or right)
Ain't it strange how fate can play a part
Baby, ain't it funny how

Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny (Can't deny)
And you can't move on even though you try (though you try)
Ain't it strange when you're feeling things you shouldn't feel (baby)
Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life
And you don't want to face what's wrong or right
Ain't it's strange how fate can play a part

Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny
And you can't move on even though you try
Ain't it strange when you're feeling things you shouldn't feel
Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life




And you don't want to face what's wrong or right
Ain't it strange how fate can play a part

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Aint It Funny by Caddillac Tah/INC/Ja Rule/Jennifer Lopez are about the unexpected and sometimes chaotic nature of love. The singer is enamored with someone and describes the perfect love in her mind, but acknowledges that life can be cruel and unexpected. Despite her doubts, she cannot deny her feelings and finds herself unable to move on from the person she loves. The chorus repeats the phrase "Ain't it funny how..." to highlight the irony and unpredictability of life and love.


Line by Line Meaning

Estoy loca
I am crazy


Enamorada, de ti
In love, with you


It seemed to be like the perfect thing for you and me
Our relationship seemed perfect


It's so ironic you're what I had pictured you to be
It's strange that you turned out exactly as I imagined


But there are facts in our lives
Reality is present in our lives


We can never change
We cannot alter the course of our lives


Just tell me that you understand and feel the same
Let me know that you share my feelings


This perfect romance that I've created in my mind
I have imagined a perfect love story in my head


I'd live a thousand lives
I would spend eternity with you


Each one with you right by my side
You would be with me in every life


But yet we find ourselves in a less than perfect circumstance
Our reality is not perfect


And so it seems like we'll never have the chance
We may never get the opportunity to be together


Sometimes I think that a true love can never be
I doubt that true love exists


I just believe that somehow it wasn't meant for me
I think love is not meant for me


Life can be cruel in a way that I can't explain
Life can be harsh and difficult to understand


And I don't think that I could face it all again
I don't believe I can go through heartbreak again


I barely know you but somehow I know what you're about
I don't know you well, but I understand you


A deeper love I've found in you
I have discovered a profound love for you


And I no longer doubt
I am no longer uncertain


You've touched my heart and it altered every plan I've made
You have changed my heart and plans


And now I feel that I don't have to be afraid
I am not afraid anymore


I locked away my heart
I closed myself to love


But you just set it free
You unleashed my love


Emotions I felt
My feelings


Held me back from what my life should be
My feelings prevented me from living my life


I pushed you far away
I distanced myself from you


And yet you stayed with me
Despite my distance, you stood by me


I guess this means
This means


That you and me were meant to be
We are destined to be together


Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny (Oh)
It's amusing how some emotions are undeniable


And you can't move on even though you try (Oh)
Despite efforts, you cannot forget


Ain't it strange when you're feeling things you shouldn't feel
It's weird to have inappropriate feelings


Oh, I wish this could be real
I wish it was not just in my head


Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life (Oh)
It's funny how a single moment can alter your life


And you don't want to face what's wrong or right (No)
You avoid thinking about what's right or wrong


Ain't it strange how fate can play a part
It's odd how destiny controls our lives

I love this Ashanti song

@Nancy2420s

We dont have any music today!! Music is dead now. 90s and 2000's will never be replaced.

@agentcodybanx8909

'It must be the ass" is the greatest intro to any song ever

@Papi.Pharaoh

Ja Rule deserves so many awards for all the great music he blessed us with in the early ‘00s, all of his songs are timeless hits. You couldn’t turn the radio on back then without hearing a song from him. He used to be the man. Until this very day, I felt like they should’ve gave my girl Ashanti her credit for her background vocals.
