jQuery select span class not working

Im trying to select the span by using the (.class) selector but for one or another reason this is not working.

<div class="text-wrap">
 <div class="text-list">
   <div class="text-suggestion">
      <span class="text-label">Lorem</span>
   </div>
 </div>
 </div>
 
  jQuery(document).ready(function() {
 
         jQuery('.text-label').click(function(e){
             alert('lol');
         });
 });
 

I can only select .text-wrapper the others are not working.. is this a jQuery program fault? I also have to say that im using the jQuery textext plugin.

UPDATE:

I forgot the quotes in my first post but this is not the problem. The code is also in a script tag otherwise it would not be possible to select the text-wrap div.

I still have the problem that everthing that is in the text suggestion div can't be triggered.

I am using the textext plugin from Textext
