genie in a bottle

come on, come on
ohh, whow

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…)

ooohhh, my body’s sayin’ let’s go
ooohhh, 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…)

ooohhh, my body’s sayin’ let’s go
ooohhh, 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 (ohh)
i can make your wish come true (your wish come true ohh)
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

ooohhh, my body’s sayin’ lets go
ooohhh, 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

what a girl wants

what a girl wants, what a girl needs.
yeah, come on.

i wanna thank you for giving me time to breathe
like a rock you waited so patiently
while i got it together
while i figured it out, yeah yeah
i only looked but i never touched

’cause in my heart was a picture of us
holdin’ hands, makin’ plans and it’s lucky for me you understand

what a girl wants
what a girl needs
whatever makes me happy sets you free
and i’m thanking you for knowing exactly
what a girl wants
what a girl needs
whatever keeps me in your arms
and i’m thanking you for giving it to me
yeah yeah

what i want is what you got
and what you got, is what i want.

there was a time i was blind, i was so confused
run away just to hide it all from you.
but baby, you knew me better than i knew myself
they say if you love something let it go
if it comes back it’s yours
that’s how you know
it’s for keeps, yeah, it’s for sure
and you’re ready and willin’
to give me more than

what a girl wants
what a girl needs
whatever makes me happy sets you free
and i’m thanking you for knowing exactly
what a girl wants
what a girl needs
whatever keeps me in your arms
and i’m thanking you for giving it to me
yeah yeah

what a girl wants, what a girl needs
somebody sensitive, courageous,
sexy, cool, like you.
what a girl wants, what a girl needs, oh yeah.

what a girl wants (you’re so right)
what a girl needs (you’re so right)
you let a girl know how much you
care about her, i swear
you’re the one who always knew…
you knew, you knew, you knew, you knew…

ooh, i’m thanking you for being there for me.
what a girl wants, what a girl needs
whatever keeps me in your arms,
whatever keeps me in your arms, that’s what i need…

what a girl wants
what a girl needs
whatever makes me happy sets you free
and i’m thanking you for knowing exactly
what a girl wants
what a girl needs
whatever keeps me in your arms
and i’m thanking you for being there for me
yeah yeah

i turn to you

when i’m lost in the rain,
in your eyes i know i’ll find the light
to light my way.

and when i’m scared,
and losing ground,
when my world is going crazy,
you can turn it all around.
and when i’m down you’re there

pushing me to the top.
you’re always there,
giving me all you’ve got.

for a shield from the storm,
for a friend, for a love
to keep me safe and warm
i turn to you.
for the strength to be strong,
for the will to carry on
for everything you do,
for everything that’s true
i turn to you.

when i lose the will to win,
i just reach for you and
i can reach the sky again.
i can do anything
’cause your love is so amazing,
’cause your love inspires me.
and when i need a friend,
you’re always on my side
giving me faith
taking me through the night

for a shield from the storm,
for a friend, for a love
to keep me safe and warm
i turn to you.
for the strength to be strong,
for the will to carry on
for everything you do,
for everything that’s true
i turn to you.

for the arms to be my shelter
through all the rain,
for truth that will never change,
for someone to lean on,
for a heart i can rely on through anything,
for that one who i can run to…
for a shield from the storm,
for a friend, for a love
to keep me safe and warm
i turn to you

for the strength to be strong,
for the will to carry on
for everything you do,
for everything that’s true
i turn to you.
for a shield from the storm,
for a friend, for a love
to keep me safe and warm
i turn to you.
for the strength to be strong,
for the will to carry on
for everything you do,
for everything that’s true
i turn to you.
i turn to you…

so emotional

it’s either black or white, that’s right
we’re makin’ love or in a fight
sometimes you make me so blue

but then it feels so good, i knew it would
you know the way to make me crazy
i want to give it to you

you make me feel so emotional
i can’t let go i’m so emotional
i’m sinking deep into an ocean full of you
i’m so emotional

you take me high or low, you know
i’m never sure which way you’re gonna go
you’re such a mystery to me

but baby hot or cold, you got a hold
of my imagination
i think you know what i mean

you make me feel so emotional
i can’t let go i’m so emotional
i’m sinking deep into an ocean full of you
i’m so emotional

rain is falling down on me
suddenly the sun comes out
sometimes north or south of love
but never out

reflection

look at me
you may think you see
who i really am
but you’ll never know me
every day
it’s as if i play a part
now i see
if i wear a mask
i can fool the world
but i cannot fool my heart

who is that girl i see
staring straight back at me?
when will my reflection show
who i am inside?

i am now
in a world where i
have to hide my heart
and what i believe in
but somehow
i will show the world
what’s inside my heart
and be loved for who i am

who is that girl i see
staring straight back at me?
why is my reflection
someone i don’t know?
must i pretend that i’m
someone else for all time?
when will my reflection show
who i am inside?

there’s a heart that must be
free to fly
that burns with a need to know
the reason why

why must we all conceal
what we think, how we feel?
must there be a secret me
i’m forced to hide?
i won’t pretend that i’m

someone else for all time
when will my reflection show
who i am inside?
when will my reflection show
who i am inside?

love for all seasons

hey there boy did ya happen to know
wherever you go i’ll follow
ooh babe you’re like a cool breeze
on a summer day
when you’re near me

searching for that lover
with the love that will change my life
i want two arms to hold me close
i want the thing i need the most
somebody needing me
so i can feel how it feels to be

what i’m looking for
is someone to love me more
than i’ve been loved before
with love so right
what i need to find
is someone to hold me tight
what i mean is i want to be

somebody’s somebody
somebody’s somebody
somebody’s somebody
somebody’s somebody
i wish i was
somebody’s baby

when you put your hands on me

when you put your hands on me..
when you put your hands on me..

i don’t know about the travel of time
and i’ve never seen most of the world
i don’t know
diving out of the sky
or living like the diamonds of pearls

see i haven’t danced to a musical tune
and i haven’t noticed the flowers in bloom
i haven’t smiled when alone in my room very much
then we touched

i just know
when you put your hands on me
i feel sexy
and my body turns to gold
i just know
when you put your hands on me
i feel ready
and i lose my self-control

when you put your hands on me..

i don’t know if a doll can unwind
or how to make a person go
i don’t know how to be what you like
and simply open up the depth of my soul

so i keep my wings
and my eyes on the down
ready for nothing
but holding my ground
i haven’t used
a particular noun very much
then we touched

when you put your hands on me..
when you put your hands on me..

i won’t notice
or pay you no mind
boy i couldn’t care less
what you do with your time
your fingertips on my hips
just move me like one of a kind

when you put your hands on me
i feel so sexy
and my body turns to gold
i just know
when you put your hands on me
i feel ready
and i lose my self-control

blessed

when i think, how life used to be;
always walking in my shadows.
then i look, at what you’ve given me;
i feel like dancing on my tip-toes.

i must say everyday i wake
and realize you’re by my side;
i know i’m truly…

blessed for everything you’ve given me;
blessed for all the tenderness you show;
do my best with every breath that’s in me;
blessed to make sure you never go.

there are times, that i test your faith,
’til you think you might surrender.
baby i’m, i’m not ashamed to say,
that my hopes were always slender

you walked by in the nick of time
looking like an answered prayer
you know i’m truly…

blessed for everything you’ve given me;
blessed for all the tenderness you show;
do my best with every breath that’s in me;
blessed to make sure you never go.

blessed with love and understanding;
blessed when i hear you call my name; (hear you call my name)
do my best with faith that’s never-ending;
blessed to make sure you feel the same.

deep inside of me you fill me with your gentle touch…
you know i’m truly

blessed for everything you’ve given me;
blessed for all the tenderness you show;
do my best with every breath that’s in me;
to see you never go.

love will find a way

no one ever said that
love was gonna be easy
gotta take the ups and downs
the in-betweens
if you take this journey
gotta give yourself completely
never let nobody ever step on our dreams

you better stop
listen to these words that i say
you better stop
don’t you throw this good thing away
no, no
put your trust in me
and i’ll make you see

no the rain won’t last forever
find a way to make it better
long as we can stand together
love will find a way
gonna make a new tomorrow
say goodbye to tears and sorrow
better listen when i say
‘love will find a way’

somebody tried to tell me love
don’t last forever
said it only happens in your wildest dreams
after all is said and done
we’re still here together
never listen to the lies and jealousy

you better stop
don’t you let them turn you around
you better stop
hang onto this love that we’ve found
nothing they can say
can stand in our way

i want you
i need you
you know that i believe you
we got it
you know it
so if it’s real
just show it

i want you
i need you
you know that i believe you
we got it
you know it
so if it’s real
just show it

you better stop
listen to these words that i say
you better stop
don’t you throw this good thing away
no…
put your trust in me
and i’ll make you see

i want you
i need you
you know that i believe you
we got it
you know it
so if it’s real
just show it…

obvious

can you hear it in my voice
was it something i let slip
does the whole world know
isn’t it obvious?

i’m the one who’s in control
now i’m acting like a fool
do my feelings show?
is my face aglow?
isn’t it obvious?

that i don’t know what i’m doing anymore
i’m feeling like a little girl
caught up in emotions
i’m out of control
isn’t it obvious?

do you see my hands, they tremble
wonder why i can’t look you in the eyes
don’t know how long
i can keep this inside
isn’t it obvious?

suddenly these emotions are in control of my heart
can you see it in my eyes
every glance, every smile
must give me away
and i feel so much i can’t hide
