Genie in the bottle

Today I woke up and reached towards the bottle

To drink what was left of my yesterday

But genie waits at the bottom of that bottle

And I can't seem to drink her away from me

As I stand to my feet and move out into a new day

And try to put yesterday in the past

But genie seems to haunt me no matter where I go

And she drags me down to my knees

(Chorus)

If I could only put genie back in the bottle

And not give her the power over me

And find a new life up over the horizons

And launch that bottle back off to sea

As soon as I pop the cork on that bottle

Genie came knocking at my door

With her mesmerizing eyes and her soft hello

She hypnotized me where I couldn't see

She tore my heart out and left my life in shambles

So I turned to that bottle to relieve my sorrows

But genie and the bottle are the devil

So genie and the devil

Will be the death of me

(Chorus)

If I could only put genie back in the bottle

And not give her the power over me

And find a new life up over the horizons

And launch that bottle back off to sea

As I climb to my feet and move out into a new day

And try to put yesterday in the past

But genie seems to haunt me no matter where I go

And drags me down to my knees

But genie and that devil are at the bottom of that bottle

(Chorus)

If I could only put genie back in the bottle

And not give her the power over me

And find a new life up over the horizons

And launch that bottle back off to sea
