Ain't it funny?
Ain't it funny?
How things change
But sitting here next to you honey
I can't believe I've fallen in love with you again
'Cause I remember the heartbreak
And I remember the pain
And I remember swearing to myself
I never wanted to see you again
But everything must change
Nothing remains the same
I can't believe it myself pretty baby
But my arms are open again
And hello Janine
You're lookin' pretty,
But you've always looked pretty to me
Janine
You're lookin' pretty, but you've always looked pretty to me
I see five colored balls
And they're floating in the air
One is red and that's the color of my heart
One is blue and that's the color of despair
One is you, and one is me
And the one that's colored black
Is what's never ever gonna to be
Everything must change
Nothing remains the same
And I can't believe it myself pretty baby
But my arms are open again
And hello Janine
You're lookin' pretty,
But you've always looked pretty to me
Janine
You're lookin' pretty, but you've always looked pretty to me
Ain't it funny?
Ain't it funny?
How things change
But lying here next to you honey
I can't believe I've fallen in love with you again
'Cause I remember the heartbreak
And I remember the pain
And I remember swearing to myself
I never want to see you again
But everything must change
Nothing remains the same
I can't believe it myself pretty baby
But my arms are open again
And hello Janine
You're lookin' pretty,
But you've always looked pretty to me
Janine
You're lookin' pretty, but you've always looked pretty to me

Steve came up with the original chorus which is in a different key than the body of the song. David came up with the verse, pre-chorus and opening riff, somehow putting it all together. The arrangement was on the seat of our pants during recording.
