Oh little Jeannie, you got so much love, little Jeannie

And you take it where it strikes and give it to the likes of me

Oh little Jeannie, she got so much love, little Jeannie

So I see you when I can, you make me all a man can be

And I want you to be my acrobat, I want you to be my lover

Oh there were others who would treat you cruel

And oh little Jeannie, you were always someone's fool

Little Jeannie, you got so much time, little Jeannie

Though you've grown beyond your years, you still retain the fears of youth

Oh little Jeannie, you got so much time, little Jeannie

But you're burning it up so fast, searching for some lasting truth

And I want you to be my acrobat, I want you to be my lover

Oh there were others who would treat you cruel

But oh Jeannie, I will always be your fool

And I want you to be my acrobat, I want you to be my lover

Oh there were others, and I've known quite a few

But oh oh Jeannie, I'm still in love with you

Stepped into my life from a bad dream

Making the life that I had seem suddenly shiny and new

Oh Jeannie I'm so in love with you

Stepped into my life from a bad dream
