Aladdin’s Lamp Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We were rich and we were poor
Two children playing grown-up games
The prince and the princess
You loved me hard-just like a rock
I threw away your building blocks
And left you with silence
And who said that silence was gold?

[Hook 1]
And now I'd trade one day of wealth and fame
For just one model airplane
Where is the love that you made me?

[Hook 2]
If I had Aladdin's lamp
Here is what I'd do
I'd rub Aladdin's lamp
Until Aladdin's lamp turned into you
La la la, la la la la
La la la, la la, la la, la la
La la la, la la la la

[Verse 2]
You used to write me poetry
And emerald city love songs
The jest and the jester
And somewhere in your nursery rhymes
I found and lost my innocence
And what could be better
[Hook 1]
And now we live in separate worlds
But here inside I'm still your little girl
Where is the love that you made me?

[Hook 2]
If I had Aladdin's lamp
Here is what I'd do
I'd rub Aladdin's lamp
Until Aladdin's lamp turned into you
La la la, la la la la
La la la, la la, la la, la la
La la la, la la la la

If I had Aladdin's lamp
Here is what I'd do
I'd rub that magic lamp
Until Aladdin's lamp turned into you
If I had Aladdin's lamp
Here is what I'd do
I'd rub that lamp
Aladdin, bring him back

[Outro]
And ooh wherever you are, this one's for you baby
Ohh, ooh
Maybe that will express what I'm going through
Aladdin, Aladdin
I'm gonna rub all over you, rub me rub, ooh
I need some magic words while I'm alone
I'm feeling like a saxophone
I need some magic words while I'm alone
I'm feeling like a saxophone
Where is the love that you made me?
Where is the love that you made me?
Here I am, baby
Here I am, baby
I need some magic words while I'm alone
I'm feeling like a saxophone
Rub me, rub me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
