[Intro]
(Ohh...)
(Ohh!)
[Verse 1]
Genie, you cried when I was leaving you
You knew I wouldn't be back
You saw the light in my eye
And never wondered why
You knew it had to be that way
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't blame anyone
It never worked out
I don't blame anyone at all
The problem was me
I can't stand myself
I can't stand myself at all
[Chorus]
Now you're hurting inside
You're hurting inside
Now you're hurting inside
Oh!
Genie...
[Verse 2]
Saw a lot of things coming
A lot of things pa**ed
A lot of things come to my mind
But I couldn't stand the way
The same things everyday
I couldn't take it in my stride
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I try to carry on
But it was just a waste of time
I couldn't shake it from my mind
Genie, don't be angry
Try to understand
We've come to love's stop sign
[Chorus]
Now you're hurting inside
You're hurting inside
Now you're hurting inside
Oh!
Genie...
[Verse 3]
Please don't ask me to explain any more
This love's gone way out of line
And I can't help the heart I'll find
Forgive me one more time
[Chorus]
Now you're hurting inside
Hurting inside
Now you're hurting inside
Oh!
Genie...
[Outro]
Hurting inside...
Hurting inside...
Oh, Genie...
