Genie In A Bottle Lyrics

I feel like I've been locked up tight
For a century of lonely nights
Waiting for someone
To release me
You're licking your lips and blowing kisses my way
But that don't mean I'm gonna give it away
Baby, baby, baby

Oh...
My body's saying let's go
Oh...
But my heart is saying no

If you wanna be with me
Baby, there's a price you 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
I 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 and let me out

The music's playing and the light's down low
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

Oh...
My body's saying let's go
Oh...
But my heart is saying no

If you wanna be with me
Baby, there's a price you 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
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 and let me out

Oh...
My body's saying let's go
Oh...
But my heart is saying no

If you wanna be with me, baby
There's a price you 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
I gotta like what you do

If you wanna be with me
Baby, there's a price you 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
Come and set me free, baby
And I'll be with you

I'm a genie in a bottle, baby
Come, come, come and let me out

Basically it's saying if you want me than you have to treat me the right way and with respect and I'll give you what you want. Not in a dirty way.

Cover art for Genie In A Bottle lyrics by Christina Aguilera

It's saying she feels horny but doesn't want to just have sex with anyone. She wants someone who really makes her crave it, who leaves her no choice but release the genie (whore) inside of her. Basically she wants to be a total slut but that doesn't mean she's desperate for sex; she's waiting for a guy who's worth being a slut for.

ah man..I miss the 90's music, this song included.

valxluffxjoo__ ---- the lyrics include 'rub' because in order to release a genie from a bottle...you have to rub the bottle. Like you know in Aladin...where he had to rub the lamp in order to get the genie out? it's like that.

This song to me is about her wanting to be released...like she's been feeling trapped for so long that she needs someone who'll help her escape, someone who she can be herself with, someone who she can be real with and free with.

It's not a dirty song. It depends on how you interpret it..and if you know what a genie in a bottle is then you're fine. A genie in a bottle is just someone who wants to escape...she's the genie and just wants to be free. It's pretty self explanatory. Those who make this song 'dirty' just need to analyze the lyrics more...and put aside their dirty thoughts and stop butchering songs for no reason.

"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

Cover art for Genie In A Bottle lyrics by Christina Aguilera

The song is basically about a girl who wants a man that will treat her right. "Rub her the right way" means making the right impression. She feels the physical attraction to a man, but she doesn't want a relation that's purely physical. She wants a man that will care about her emotional and mental well-being as well; someone that will care about her as a person. She's saying that if they do that, then she'll be their girl and their's only.

My Interpretation

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.

i love this song

Cover art for Genie In A Bottle lyrics by Christina Aguilera

Um...about waiting all night, to release and shit....she's talking about not having had a good fuck in awhile.

So...somebody, go rub her the right way.

on a deeper level any girl wants a guy to come and get her, its not like shes just gonna say im free or something
