I passed a little shop and there I had to stop,
Inside the window was a tarnish lamp of gold,
Bought it, took it home and when I got alone,
Rubbed it like the story I'd been told so long a-go.
Genie, Genie grant to me just one wish and that should be,
I hold her love instead of misery.
Genie, Genie don't you know love must have a time to grow,
One wish can't make it last for-evermore.
So it came to be she fell in love with me,
But it didn't really work out too pеrfect=ly,
The geniе had been kind but in too little time,
He’d given love that came to us too easi-ly.
Genie, Genie grant to me just one wish and that should be,
I hold her love instead of misery.
Genie, Genie don't you know love must have a time to grow,
One wish can't make it last for-evermore.
Now the lamp stands by itself an ornament up-on my shelf,
Holding up some books, I've never read them,
And though the Genie stands alone I got her love back on my own,
I'll never need the Genie's help again.
Genie, Genie grant to me just one wish and that should be,
I hold her love instead of misery.
Genie, Genie don't you know love must have a time to grow,
One wish can't make it last for-evermore.
