Though you've grown beyond your years, you still retain the fears of youth
Oh little Jeannie, you got so much time, little Jeannie
I want you to be my lover
But oh Jeannie, I will always be your fool
Making the life that I had seem suddenly shiny and new
Oh there were others who would treat you cruel
And I want you to be my acrobat
You stepped into my life from a bad dream
Oh little Jeannie, she got so much love, little Jeannie
...
But oh oh Jeannie, I'm still in love with you

I want you to be my lover
And I want you to be my acrobat
And I want you to be my acrobat
You stepped into my life from a bad dream

Oh Jeannie, I'm so in love with you
But you're burning it up so fast, searching for some lasting truth

Oh Jeannie, I'm so in love with you
And oh Jeannie, you were always someone's fool
Little Jeannie, you got so much time, little Jeannie
You stepped into my life from a bad dream
Making the life that I had seem suddenly shiny and new
Making the life that I had seem suddenly shiny and new

I want you to be my lover
Oh, there were others who would treat you cruel

Oh there were others, and I've known quite a few
So I see you when I can, you make me all a man can be
Oh Jeannie, I'm so in love with you
