Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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
The lyrics in "Funny Thing About Love" by Lauren Alaina are expressing the unpredictable and illogical nature of love. The lead singer reminisces about a time where they did not want their love interest and now as the tables have turned, they are no longer wanted by their love interest. The confusion deepens as the singer hopes for their two hearts to want the same thing at the same time. Alaina is noting how love is not logical and one will often find themselves in situations they could not have anticipated. The chorus of the song speaks to the song's title, how love does not make sense, and often results in messing everything up. The lead singer reflects on how love has made them do the craziest and stupidest things but they still cannot bear to live without it.
