[Verse 1]
Ain’t it funny, ain’t it funny
Oh, it all started as a joke
But now I’m falling, now I’m falling
The punch line is getting old
Cause I’ve been keeping to myself
For way too long, yeah
[Verse 2]
Ain’t it funny, ain’t it funny
I made you laugh every time we spoke
I locked my heart in hesitation
But somehow, you cracked the code
[Pre-Chorus]
I tore down my walls
And wrecked the ceiling
Ready to bare it all, but
[Chorus]
You’re looking at her, she’s looking at you
I’m falling apart, what can I do
To make you feel that way about me too?
And it’s getting hard, I’m not gonna lie
To keep in the dark all I’m feeling inside
When you walk in smelling like her perfume
What was I thinking?
I’m just the funny girl to you
[Verse 3]
Can you see me, can you see me
Like a fire rising in the smoke?
Can you hear me, can you hear me
Open up with every note?
Cause I’ve been playing to myself
For way too long
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I tore down my walls
And I wrecked the ceiling
Ready to bare it all
What was I thinking?
[Chorus]
You’re looking at her, she’s looking at you
I’m falling apart, what can I do
To make you feel that way about me too?
And it’s getting hard, I’m not gonna lie
To keep in the dark all I’m feeling inside
When you walk in smelling like her perfume
What was I thinking?
I’m just the funny girl to you
[Bridge]
So tell me what you’re looking for
I promise you, I got it all
What does it take to make you see?
I am right here
And if you ever need to cry
I’ll be the one who makes you laugh
Yeah, I’ll be your funny girl
Your funny girl
[Chorus]
You’re looking at her, she’s looking at you
I’m falling apart, what can I do
To make you feel that way about me too?
And it’s getting hard, I’m not gonna lie
To keep in the dark all I’m feeling inside
When you walk in smelling like her perfume
What was I thinking?
I’m just the funny girl to you

Even though a lot of people think this song is about cheating, I originally wrote it about being friend-zoned by the guy you’re falling for. He wanted someone else and to him… I was just the best friend. The “Funny Girl”.
