The Genie
Don Henley Song Lyrics
(Don Henley Stan Lynch Stuart Brawley) Is this what you wanted? Did you even think twice? Didn't they tell you that anything that feels this good Comes with a price It gave you such a rush Now you think you've had enough It's not that easy to walk away This is the hard stuff You can't get the genie back in the bottle You can't get the genie back in the bottle You can't get the genie back in the bottle You can't get the genie back in the bottle And everything matters, everything matters Every little thing you do That smoldering tingle under your skin That sweet, delicious, but not-so-original sin And when the world becomes too little or too much The shadow mind contrives The triumph and the tragedy that we invite into our lives And Adam glanced back at the tree As he was leaving Said, ¡°Baby, that's the price we pay Knowing is grieving¡± You can't get the genie back in the bottle You can't get the genie back in the bottle You can't get the genie back in the bottle You can't get the genie back in the bottle And everything matters, everything matters Everything you say, everything you do And the past comes back to smack you around For all the things you thought you got for free For the arrogance to think that you could somehow Defy the laws of gravity These are lessons in humility Penitence for past offenses Consequences, consequences You can't get the genie back in the bottle You can't get the genie back in the bottle You can't get the genie back in the bottle You can't get the genie back in the bottle |
