Christina Aguilera – Genie In A Bottle

I feel like I've been locked up tight
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, my body's sayin' let's 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
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

    General Comment:They also made a "cleaner version" of the song. They replaced "hormones racing" with "heartbeat racing" and "rub me the right way" with treat me the right way.

    General Comment:Well according to Christina the song is about self respect. She's saying than she's not going to have sex with him or be serious with him until he shows respect or kindness or whatever.

    General Comment:I'd be worried about getting too big and not being able to get out of the bottle. Or being able to get back into it...I'm more like Pandora's Box. LMAO. :P

    General Comment:After all these years it's really fun and interesting to try and spot all of Christina's signature vocals in this song.
    And surprisingly, there are a lot.

    General Comment:"Gotta rub me the right way" actually has *three* different meanings - how clever is that :)

    Lyrics aside, this was a good song, they don't make em like this anymore

    General Comment:This song has paradoxical sexual implications, it is about lesbianism, masturbation, and if Christina were to be a male singer here, which is where the contradiction lies, she is singing 'I'm a Genie in her Bottle' and I am. Listen to her singing, she is saying I'm a genie in HER bottle, magic in an empty place. This song crosses grammatical boundaries
