Love's Funny That Way
Wynonna Judd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We play the same rules
In a heartbeat a wiseman can be a fool
There's no guarantee that love will be
A stranger or a friend
A prayer that's answered
Or a heartache that never ends
When all is said and done
It has the power
You go from lonely to the lucky one
Love's funny that way
Now matter who you are
It can shake your faith
Or it can break your heart
Once in a while the mountains move
We all long for those days
You live, you laugh, you say
Love's funny that way
Not long ago I got to know the lonely side
Just me and my pain and nowhere to hide
It amazes me
How my world turned around
If it's meant to be
That's all that matters to me anyhow
Love's funny that way
No matter who you are
It can shake your faith
Or it can break your heart
Once in a while the mountains move
We all long for those days
You live, you laugh, you say
Love's funny that way
Once in a while the mountains move
We all long for those days
So when you don't understand
Best you leave it in love's hands
Just live, laugh and say
Love's funny that way
The lyrics of Love's Funny That Way by Wynonna Judd reveal how love is an unpredictable force, and how it can change people's lives in unexpected ways. The song begins by stating that, in love, there is no hierarchy - from kings to commoners, everyone is subject to its rules. However, anyone can easily shift from being a wiseman to a fool in a heartbeat because of its power.
The chorus emphasizes the whimsical nature of love, which can either shake one's faith or break a heart, without regard to one's status, education, or experience. Mountains move once in a while, and everyone longs for those days when everything seems perfect. Despite love's unpredictable nature, the song also points out that it has the power to transform someone from lonely to the lucky one, making them realize that love's unpredictability is what makes it magical.
The second verse tells of a time when the persona experienced loneliness and despair, with no place to hide. However, love turned their life around, and they learned that if love was meant to be, the only thing that mattered was the fact that it was present in their lives. The song ends with the advice to leave all love's mysteries to its hands and appreciate its mysteries by living, laughing, and enjoying great days.

We all long for those days
We all want to experience those amazing moments
You live, you laugh, you say
You must live, laugh and say
Not long ago I got to know the lonely side
I recently felt very lonely
Just me and my pain and nowhere to hide
I had only my pain as my companion and nowhere to go to escape it
It amazes me
It surprises me
How my world turned around
How love changed everything suddenly
If it's meant to be
If it's meant to happen
That's all that matters to me anyhow
That's all that's important to me anyway
So when you don't understand
When you are confused
Best you leave it in love's hands
Trust love to guide you
