Little Jeannie
 
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Gary Osborne


Oh little Jeannie, you got so much love, little Jeannie
And you tale it where it strikes
And give it to the likes of me

Oh little Jeannie, she got so much love, little Jeannie
So I see you when I can
You make me all a man can be

And I want you to be my acrobat
I want you to be my lover
Oh there were others who would treat you cruel
And oh Jeannie you were always someone's fool

Little Jeannie, you got so much time, little Jeannie
Though you've grown beyond your years
You still retain the fears of youth

Oh little Jeannie, you got so much time, little Jeannie
But you're burning it up so fast
Searching for some lasting truth

And I want you to be my acrobat
I want you to be my lover
Oh there were others who would treat you cruel
But oh Jeannie I'll always be your fool

And I want you to be my acrobat
I want you to be my lover
Oh there were others and I've known quite a few
But oh Jeannie I'm still be in love with you

You stepped into my life from a bad dream
Making the life that I had seem suddenly shiny and new
Oh Jeannie I'm so in love with you
(Repeat until fade)
