I feel like I've been securely confined for a hundred years of lonely nights,

Waiting for a person to free me

You're licking your lips and blowing kisses in my direction

But that don't signify I'm going to donate it

Baby, baby, baby!

Oooh (my body is saying let's go)

Oooh (but my heart is saying no)

If you desire to be with me, baby, there's a cost to pay.

I'm a genie in a bottle

You must rub me correctly if you want to be with me.

I can make your dream a reality

You must make a large impression.

I've got to like the thing you do.

Chorus

______ a genie in a bottle, ________.

__________ to rub me the right way, ________.

______ a genie in a bottle, ________.

Come, come, come on and let me out.

The music's dying out; the light's dim.

Just another dance and then we're set to leave.

Waiting for someone who requires me.

Hormones hurrying at the speed of light

But that don't mean it's got to be tonight.

Baby, baby, baby!

Oooh (my body is saying let's go)

Oooh (but my heart is saying no)

If you desire to be with me, baby, there's a cost to pay.

I'm a genie in a bottle

You must rub me correctly if you want to be with me.

I can make your dream a reality

You must make a large impression.

I've got to like the thing you do.

Chorus

______ a genie in a bottle, ________.

__________ to rub me the right way, ________.

______ a genie in a bottle, ________.
