Little Jeannie

music by Elton John . lyrics by Gary Osborne
album "21 at 33" 1980


oh little Jeannie
you got so much love
little Jeannie
and you take 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 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
and oh oh Jeannie
I will 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 oh Jeannie
I'm still 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

stepped ...
