Lyrics of Ain’t It Fun

Verse 1

I don’t mind
Lettin’ you down easy, but just give it time
If it don’t hurt now, but just wait, just wait awhile
You’re not the big fish in the pond no more
You are what they’re feedin’ on

Pre-Chorus

So what are you gonna do
When the world don’t orbit around you? Ooh, uh, uh
So what are you gonna do
When the world don’t orbit around you?

Chorus

Ain’t it fun
Livin’ in the real world?
Ain’t it good
Bein’ all alone?

Verse 2

Where you’re from
You might be the one who’s runnin’ things
Well, you could ring anybody’s bell and get what you want
See, it’s easy to ignore trouble
When you’re livin’ in a bubble

So what are you gonna do
When the world don’t orbit around you? Mm, uh, uh

When nobody wants to fool with you? Oh, oh, oh, uh, uh

Ain’t it fun you can’t count on no one?
Ain’t it fun
Livin’ in the real world?
