Don Henley lyrics : "The Genie"

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
