Fairy Tales lyrics

Artist  : Anita Baker 
Song : Fairy Tales
 
I can remember stories, those things my mother
said

She told me fairy tales, before I went to bed

She spoke of happy endings, then tucked me in
real tight

She turned my night light on, and kissed my face
good night

My mind would fill with visions, of perfect
paradise

She told me everything, she said he'd be so
nice

He'd ride up on his horse and, take me away one
night

I'd be so happy with him, we'd ride clean out of
sight

She never said that we would, curse, cry and
scream and lie

She never said that maybe, someday he'd say
goodbye



The story ends, as stories do

Reality steps into view

No longer living life in paradise - of fairy
tales - uh

No, uh - huh - mmm - mmm



She spoke about happy endings, of stories not
like this

She said he'd slay all dragons, defeat the evil
prince

She said he'd come to save me, swim through the
stormy seas

I'd understand the story, it would be good for
me

You never came to save me, you let me stand
alone

Out in the wilderness, alone in the cold



My story end, as stories do

Reality steps into view

No longer living life in paradise - no fairy
tales - yes



I don't look for pie up in the sky, baby

Need reality, now, said I

Don't feel the need to be pacified, don't cha
try

Honey, I know you lied



You never came to save me, you let me stand
alone

Out in the wilderness, alone in the cold

I found no magic postion, no horse with wings to
fly

I found the poison apple, my destiny to die

No royal kiss could save me, no magic spell to
spin

My fantasy is over, my life must now begin



My story end, as stories do

Reality steps into view

No longer living life in paradise - no fairy
tales - eh,

hey, hey - eee - mmm, mmm

Lord have mercy - ooo

ooo - mmm - oh Lord
