[Chorus] X3
Ain't it funny
No it just ain't funny
How things turn around
How things turn around
Once we loved each other so deeply
We talked to each other so sweetly
Now, we don't even talk at all
Only, only on the telephone
When I call
Talking about the kid
Talking about the baby
Talking about the baby
People think life is a game
Life is a game
People think life is a game
They think life is a game, baby
Ain't it strange? It ain't never the same
Gonna turn around, baby
Turn it around, soon
Gonna be getting down
Got to turn around, going to turn it around
Please, please don't ever go away
And if you wonder, please, please
Don't ever go away
If we work together, we can help things turn around
Can't we baby?
Ain't it funny, baby
How things turn around, baby
Ain't it funny, baby
How things turn around, honey, honey
Ain't it funny, how things turn around
Look at you, baby
If we work together, we can help things turn around
Can't we, baby?
F-U-N-N-Y, help it turn around
F-U-N-N-Y, help things turn around
Ooh, baby
Look at you, baby
F-U-N-N-Y, help things turn around
[Outro]
F-U-N-N-Y
Turn it all around, baby
