Rub A Magic Lamp?

Have you heard the one about the genie?
That's one of many ways the joker starts.
Then he dutifully tops up your Lambrini.
Before you know it, he's broken your heart.

You said you always wanted a comedian.
You said you thought he might have been the one.
Instead it turns out this one's a chameleon.
Disguised, he took advantage: your're undone.

You got what you wanted and oh, so much more.
Now you know the meaning of "Be careful what you wish for."

You've got a brand new job; it's so exciting.
You've got your own internal phone number.
The high wages were amazingly inviting.
But your colleagues couldn't possibly be dumber.

You're the one who's meant to be in training.
Yet you're the one they turn to when in need.
You thought your new career gave your life meaning.
But now your life is very dull indeed.

You got what you wanted and oh, so much more.
Now you know the meaning of "Be careful what you wish for."

You've moved into new shared accommodation.
It's just a bit more pricey than before.
You've awaited it with great anticipation.
It's everything that you were looking for.

To say your flatmate's unclean's quite an understatement.
You didn't think that humans could survive
In this biohazard wasteland-like apartment.
Now you thank God for each day you're still alive.

You got what you wanted and oh, so much more.
Now you know the meaning of "Be careful what you wish for."

Dangerous Liaisons

I've got a dilemma, it's quite a dilemma indeed.
No one knows quite how much I need
You to say you love me, that you love me so much.
I really feel that we've got the common touch.

We can never be together. It's tragic but it's true.
Maybe that's the reason why I'm so in love with you.
All I want is one night in your arms. Together we'd be one.
I really think this love affair's got to end before it's begun.

This feeling of danger, yes of danger turns me on.
Now I cannot wait until he's gone.
That is when I'm thinking, I'll be thinking of you.
Not being with you is making me so blue.

We can never be together. It's tragic but it's true.
Maybe that's the reason why I'm so in love with you.
All I want is one night in your arms. Together we'd be one.
I really think this love affair's got to end before it's begun.

One day when I'm older, when we're older we'll meet again.
Maybe then we won't have to be restrained.
We could make love, oh, make love at long last.
I really hope these feelings won't have passed.

We could maybe be together. I think by then you'd be due
The chance to hear me tell you just how much I love you.
I could have one night in your arms. Together we'd be one.
I'd really hate this love affair to have ended before it's begun.
