Ain't it Funny?
Ja Rule ft. J. Lo Lyrics

It seemed to be like the perfect thing for you and me
At first, it appeared as if we were meant to be together.

It's so ironic you're what I had pictured you to be
It's funny how you ended up being exactly what I always imagined you to be.

But there are facts in our lives We can never change Just tell me that you understand and feel the same
We both have certain truths about our lives that cannot be altered. But if you feel the same way about me and understand our situation, we can move forward.

This perfect romance that I've created in my mind I'd live a thousand lives Each one with you right by my side
I've idealized our relationship so much that I can picture us being together in any situation, in countless different scenarios.

But yet we find ourselves in a less than perfect circumstance And so it seems like we'll never have the chance
Despite my idealization of our relationship, the reality is that we are currently in a difficult situation and it feels like we may never be able to be together.

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
Isn't it ironic how we can't help but feel what we feel, even though we shouldn't? It's frustrating that we can't make this idealized relationship a reality.

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
At times, it feels as though real love is impossible, and I have come to believe that it may not be meant for me. Life can be incredibly difficult to understand, and I don't know if I could handle 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
Even though we haven't known each other for very long, I feel as if I know you deeply. I've found a love with you that is so powerful that I no longer doubt whether it exists. You've changed everything for me, and now I feel like I don't have to be scared anymore.

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
I had my heart locked away, but you managed to unlock it. My emotions had been holding me back, preventing me from living the life I should have been. Even when I pushed you away, you stayed with me, and I realize that this means we were always meant to be together.

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 Baby, ain't it funny how
It's so strange how we can't help but feel the way we do, even when we know it's wrong or won't work out. Isn't it funny how love works in mysterious ways?

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
It's incredible how a single moment can alter the course of our lives, and oftentimes we don't want to face the difficult choices that come with it. It's strange how it feels like fate has a hand in everything.
