Christina Aguilera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For a century of lonely nights
Waiting for someone to release me
You're lickin' your lips
And blowing kisses my way
But that don't mean I'm gonna give it away
Baby, baby, baby (Baby baby baby)
Ooh, but my heart is sayin' no
If you wanna be with me
Baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle
You gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me
I can make your wish come true
You gotta make a big impression (Oh yeah)
Gotta like what you do
(I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Gotta rub me the right way honey
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Come come, come on and let me out)
The music's fading and the lights down low
Just one more dance and then we're good to go
Waiting for someone
Who needs me
Hormones racing at the speed of light
But that don't mean it's gotta be tonight
Baby, baby, baby (Baby baby baby)
Ooh, my body's sayin' let's go
Ooh, but my heart is sayin' no (but my heart is sayin' no)
If you wanna be with me
Baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle (I'm a genie in a bottle)
You gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me (Oh)
I can make your wish come true (Your wish come true oh)
Just come and set me free baby
And I'll be with you
(I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Gotta rub me the right way honey
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Come come, come on and let me out)
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Gotta rub me the right way honey
(If you wanna be with me)
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Come come, come on and let me out
Ooh, my body's sayin' lets go
Ooh, but my heart is sayin' no
If you wanna be with me
Baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle (I'm a genie in a bottle)
You gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me
I can make your wish come true
Just come and set me free, baby
And I'll be with you
If you wanna be with me
Baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle (In a bottle baby)
You gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me (If you wanna be with me)
I can make your wish come true
Just come and set me free baby
And I'll be with you
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Come come, come on and let me out

I feel like I've been locked up tight
I feel emotionally trapped
For a century of lonely nights
I've been alone for a long time
Waiting for someone to release me
I want someone to help me open up emotionally
You're lickin' your lips
You're showing physical attraction to me
And blowing kisses my way
You're flirting with me
But that don't mean I'm gonna give it away
But I'm not going to give in so easily
Baby, baby, baby
Hey, listen to me
Ooh, my body's sayin' let's go
My physical desire for you is strong
Ooh, but my heart is sayin' no
But emotionally I don't know if I'm ready
If you wanna be with me
If you want to pursue a relationship with me
Baby there's a price to pay
It won't be easy to get close to me
I'm a genie in a bottle
I have a mysterious quality to me
You gotta rub me the right way
You have to approach me in the right way
I can make your wish come true
I have the ability to fulfill your desires
You gotta make a big impression (Oh yeah)
You have to impress me
The music's fading and the lights down low
The party is coming to an end
Just one more dance and then we're good to go
Just one more moment of fun before it's over
Waiting for someone
I'm still looking for a special connection
Who needs me
Someone who wants me for me
Hormones racing at the speed of light
I'm feeling intense physical desire
But that don't mean it's gotta be tonight
But that doesn't mean we have to act on it right away
I'm a genie in a bottle (I'm a genie in a bottle)
I'm still mysterious, hard to understand
Just come and set me free, baby
Just come and help me open up emotionally
And I'll be with you
And we can pursue a relationship together
If you wanna be with me (If you wanna be with me)
If you really want to be with me
In a bottle baby
I have a hard exterior, but I can open up
Come come, come on and let me out
Come and help me open up emotionally
