About Funny How Time Flies (When You're Having Fun)

"Funny How Time Flies (When You're Having Fun)" is the seventh and final single from American R&B singer Janet Jackson's third studio album, Control (1986). While "Funny How Time Flies (When You're Having Fun)" was officially released in the United Kingdom and Australia, it was released solely for airplay in the United States in 1987. The song was written by Jackson and collaborators/producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. It performed poorly on the UK Singles Chart, only reaching number fifty-nine but peaked at #24 on the Irish Singles Chart. In the U. S., though it never charted, it became a famed quiet storm staple on adult R&B and soul radio stations. No music video was filmed for the single. Jazz musician Stanley Clarke covered the song for his 1988 album If This Bass Could Only Talk. The song was also sampled on The Lost Boyz's "Renee" and on Camp Lo's "Coolie High", both from 1996. In 2014, it was sampled on Tinashe's "How Many Times" from her debut album Aquarius. Two years later, it was sampled on SWV's MCE (Man Crush Everyday). The song's main melody (excluding the verses and the French speaking introductions), bears resemblance to the melody of her brother's 1982 hit "The Lady In My Life" released four years earlier. more »

Funny how time flies when you're having fun... Oh baby
Funny how time flies when you're having fun... Oh baby

I don't know where it all went... Time passed us by
Just when it seemed the fun began... ooh...F

Funny how time flies when you're having fun
Funny how time flies when you're having fun

But time never ends... Let's find the time
To get together once again... someday soon

Funny how time flies when you're having fun
Funny how time flies when you're having fun

Don't you ever leave
(Funny how time flies when you're having fun)
Don't you ever go
Say you love me so
(Funny how time flies when you're having fun)
Funny how time flies when you're having fun... When you're having fun
Funny how time flies when you're having fun

I really don't know where all the time went
I really have to go
Stop, stop!
Oh I really have to go
Oh I really have to go
One more time? Oh...
