Lyrics Translated by ajm
I feel like I've been locked up tight Me siento que he estado encerrado bien apretada
For a century of lonely nights Durante un siglo de noches solitarias
Waiting for someone to release me Esperando que alguien me libera
You're licking your lips Está humedeciendo tus labios
And blowing kisses my way Y soplándome besos
But that don't mean Pero eso no significa
I'm gonna give it away Que voy a regalarlo
Baby baby baby (baby, baby, baby) Cariño Cariño......
Ooooh (my body is saying let's go) Ay(mi cuerpo dice vamonos)
Ooooh (but my heart is saying no) Ay (pero mi corazón dice no)
If you wanna be with me Si quieres estar conmigo
Baby there's a price to pay Cariño, hay que pagar un precio
I'm a genie in a bottle Soy un genio en una botella
You gotta rub me the right way Tienes que frotarme la manera correcta
If you wanna be with me Si quieres estar conmigo
I can make your wish come true Puedo hacer que su deseo sea haga realidad
You gotta make a big impression Tienes que impresionarme
I gotta like what you do Me tiene que gustar lo que haces
I'm a genie in a bottle baby Soy un genio en una botella cariño
You gotta rub me Me tienes que frotarme
the right way honey la manera correcta cariño
I'm a genie in a bottle baby Soy un genio en una botella cariño
Come, come, come on Vamos, va, vamos
and let me out y déjame salir
The music's fading La música se apaga
The lights down low Las luces bajadas
Just one more dance Un baile mas
And then were good to go Y estamos listo para irnos
Waiting for someone Esperando alguien
Who needs me Quien me necesita
Hormones racing at La hormonas yendo a
the speed of light la velocidad de la luz
But that don't mean Pero eso no quiere decir
it's gotta be tonight que tiene que ser esta noche
Baby, baby, baby (baby, baby, baby) Cariño............
Ooooh (my body is saying let's go) Cariño (mi cuerpo dice vamos)
Ooooh (but my heart is saying no) Ay (pero mi corazón dice que no)
If you wanna be with me Si quieres estar conmigo
Baby there's a price to pay Cariño hay que pagar un precio
I'm a genie in a bottle Soy un genio en una botella
(I'm a genie in a bottle) " " "
You gotta rub me the right way Tienes que frotarme bien
If you wanna be with me (Ooh) Si quieres estar conmigo
I can make your wish come true Te puedo hacer que tu sueño se haga realidad

Just come and set me free Simplemente ven y librame
And I'll be with you Y estaré contigo
