About Ain't It Funny

"Ain't It Funny" is a song recorded by American singer Jennifer Lopez. It was written by Lopez and Cory Rooney for the Adam Shankman-directed romantic comedy The Wedding Planner (2001). Shankman, however, felt that the song had too much of a Latin-influence to be featured in the film, and it was instead included on Lopez's second studio album, J. Lo (2001). "Ain't It Funny" was released as the third single from the album on June 20, 2001, by Epic Records. The song was used as background music in three television advertisements in Japan to promote the 2001 Subaru Legacy for a special campaign which was known as Three Keys Legacy. Lopez herself was also featured in all three ads.

Estoy loca
Enamorada
De ti

It seemed to be like the perfect thing for you and me
It's so ironic you're what I had pictured you to be
But there are facts in our lives we can never change
Just tell me that you understand and feel the same

This perfect romance that I've created in my mind
(In my mind)
I'd live a thousand lives each one with you right by my side
But yet we find ourselves in a less than perfect circumstance
(Ooh)
And so it seems like we'll never have the chance
(Chance)

Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny?
(Ohh)
And you can't move on even though you try
(Ahh)
Ain't it strange when you're feeling things you shouldn't feel?
(Oh, I wish this could be real)
Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life?
(Ohh)
And you don't want to face what's wrong or right
(No)
Ain't it strange how fate can play a part?
(In the story of your heart)

Sometimes I think that a true love can never be
(Never be)
I just believe that somehow it wasn't meant for me
Life can be cruel in a way that I can't explain
(Ooh)
And I don't think that I could face it all again

I barely know you but somehow I know what you're about
(You're about)
A deeper love I've found in you and I no longer doubt
You've touched my heart and it altered every plan I've made
(Ooh)
And now I feel that I don't have to be afraid
(Afraid)

Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny?
(Ohh)
And you can't move on even though you try
(Ahh)
Ain't it strange when you're feeling things you shouldn't feel?
(Oh, I wish this could be real)
Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life?
(Ohh)
And you don't want to face what's wrong or right
(No)
Ain't it strange how fate can play a part?
(In the story of your heart)

(Ooh ooh ooh)
I locked away my heart
But you just set it free
Emotions I felt
Held me back from what my life should be
(Oooh ooh ooh)
I pushed you far away
And yet you stayed with me
I guess this means
That you and me were meant to be

Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny?
(Ohh)
And you can't move on even though you try
(Ohh)
Ain't it strange when you're feeling things you shouldn't feel?
(Oh, I wish this could be real, oh yea)
Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life?
(Oh yea)
And you don't want to face what's wrong or right
(No, no)
Ain't it strange how fate can play a part?
(In the story of your heart, oh yea)

(Ohh, Ohh)
Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny?
(Funny)
(Ohh, Ohh)
And you can't move on even though you try
(Even if you try)
(Ohh, Ohh)
Ain't it strange when you're feeling things you shouldn't feel?
(Ohh, Oh
(Baby, ain't it funny how?)
(Ohh, Ohh)
Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life?
(Ohh, Ohh)
(Change your life)
And you don't want to face what's wrong or right
(Ohh, Ohh)
(Wrong or right)
Ain't it strange how fate can play a part?
(Ohh, Ohh)
(Baby, ain't it funny how?)

(Ohh, Ohh)
Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny?
(Ohh, Ohh)
(Can't deny)
And you can't move on even though you try
(Ohh, Ohh)
(Though you try)
Ain't it strange when you're feeling things you shouldn't feel?
(Ohh, Ohh)
(Baby)
(Ohh, Ohh)
Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life?
(Ohh, Ohh)
And you don't want to face what's wrong or right
(Ohh, Ohh)
Ain't it strange how fate can play a part?
(Ohh, Ohh)

(Ohh, Ohh)
Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny?
(Ohh, Ohh)
And you can't move on even though you try
(Ohh, Ohh)
Ain't it strange when you're feeling things you shouldn't feel?
(Ohh, Ohh)
Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life?
(Ohh, Ohh)
And you don't want to face
