Jennifer Lopez – Ain't It Funny Lyrics 12 years ago
This is about forbidden love:
The obstacle (which, by the way, is a condition for falling in love!) is too big:
'there are facts in our lives we can never change'
'we find ourselves in a less than perfect circumstance
and so it seems like we'll never have the chance'

Thus, the feelings are forbidden:
'feeling things you shouldn't feel'
'you don't want to face what's wrong or right'
'Emotions I felt' (falling in love;'Enamorada') 'held me back from what my life should be' (she should have a life without him)

And the perfectness of her feelings is ironic:
'It's so ironic you're what I had pictured you to be'

She despairs about love in her life:
'a true love can never be'
'I just believe that somehow it wasn't meant for me'
'Life can be cruel'
'I don't think that I could face it all again' (any future love)

She lives this love only in her head:
She has romantic fantasies
'This perfect romance that I've created in my mind'
'I'd live a thousand lives' (in her mind, that is)
'I wish this could be real'

The love isn't spoken out, yet:
'Just tell me that you understand' (that the obstacle is too big)
'and feel the same'

She's stuck to him, though she knows better:
'you can't move on even though you try'
'fate can play a part in the story of your heart'
'I pushed you far away and yet you stayed with me' (in her heart)

Beautiful song!
