Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
  • It's like rain on your wedding day
  • It's a free ride when you've already paid
  • It's the good advice that you just didn't take

Sing it again — final chorus

  • And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
  • A little too ironic
  • And, yeah, I really do think
  • It's like rain on your wedding day
it'sthinklife
