Funny Thing About Love
Lauren Alaina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You used to want me
But I didn’t want you
And now I want you, oh, but you don’t want me, yeah
Why can’t our two hearts just make up their minds
And want the same thing at the same time

[Chorus]
The funny thing about love
It never makes sense it just keeps messin’ you up
It never makes sense, it never makes sense
You let it go, never want it back
Turn around and just like that
You swear you can’t get enough
That’s the funny thing about love, yeah
That’s the funny thing about love

We were best friends
Until I kissed you
You know you liked it and I did too, yeah
As soon as you admit you’re crazy about me
I’m off and running so soon enough you’ll see

[Chorus]

It makes you crazy
It’ll make you do the stupidest stuff
You can’t live without it, yeah
That’s the funny thing about love, yeah, yeah

The funny thing about love
It never makes sense just keeps messing you up
Never makes sense, never makes sense
Let it go, never want it back
Turn around and just like that
You swear you can’t get enough
You swear you can’t get enough
That’s the funny thing about love, yeah
That’s the funny thing about love
The funny thing about love




Never makes sense
It just keeps messing you up, yeah
