Lyrics:
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
