Ira Marlowe - Lyrics - Ain't No Genie

AIN'T NO GENIE

Sittin' in a place we used to go to
Thinkin' about the things we used to do
Back when I had everything I wanted
When I had you

Now it's only me and Sister Whisky
Thinkin' about the way it used to feel
And I'll take all the comfort that she gives me
But it ain't real

     There ain't no genie in this bottle
     But I been wishin' all night long
     Trying to bring you back with every swallow
     But ain't no genie in this bottle

If I knew a way to get three wishes
It isn't hard to say just what I'd do
Number one would be to have you standing here with me
And darlin', you can have the other two, but

     Chorus

Aladdin got a kingdom made of gold
And all the jewels from here to Galilee
I just want your little hand to hold
And just one night to make you see, but

     Chorus
     There ain't no genie in this bottle
     Cuz I been wishin' for so long
     Trying to bring you back
     But I can't drink into the past
     It's gone
     It's gone

Sittin' in a place we used to go to Thinkin' about the things we used to do Back when I had everything I wanted When I had you Now it's only me and Sister Whisky Thinkin' about the way it used to feel And I'll take all the comfort that she gives me But it ain't real
There ain't no genie in this bottle But I been wishin' all night long Trying to bring you back with every swallow But ain't no genie in this bottle If I knew a way to get three wishes It isn't hard to say just what I'd do Number one would be to have you standing here with me And darlin', you can have the other two, but Chorus
Aladdin got a kingdom made of gold And all the jewels from here to Galilee I just want your little hand to hold And just one night to make you see, but Chorus There ain't no genie in this bottle Cuz I been wishin' for so long Trying to bring you back But I can't drink into the past It's gone It's gone
