Fairy Tales (Edited Version) - Anita Baker[00:00:00]
Mmmm-Hmmm[00:00:06]
I can remember stories[00:00:12]
Those things my mother said[00:00:14]
She told me fairy tales[00:00:17]
Before I went to bed[00:00:19]
She spoke of happy endings[00:00:21]
Then tucked me in real tight[00:00:24]
She turned my night light on[00:00:27]
And kissed my face good night[00:00:29]
My mind would fill with visions[00:00:32]
Of perfect paradise[00:00:34]
She told me everything[00:00:37]
She said he'd be so nice[00:00:39]
He'd ride up on his horse and[00:00:42]
Take me away one night[00:00:45]
I'd be so happy with him[00:00:47]
We'd ride clean out of sight[00:00:50]
She never said that we would[00:00:52]
Curse cry and scream and lie[00:00:55]
She never said that maybe[00:00:57]
Someday he'd say goodbye[00:01:00]
The story ends as stories do[00:01:02]
Reality steps into view[00:01:08]
No longer living life in paradise-or fairy tales-uh[00:01:13]
No uh-huh-mmm-mmm[00:01:24]
She spoke about happy endings[00:01:32]
Of stories not like this[00:01:35]
She said he'd slay all dragons[00:01:38]
Defeat the evil prince[00:01:40]
She said he'd come to save me[00:01:43]
Swim through the stormy seas[00:01:45]
I'd understand the story[00:01:48]
It would be good for me[00:01:50]
You never came to save me[00:01:53]
You let me stand alone[00:01:55]
Out in the wilderness alone in the cold[00:01:58]
My story ends as stories do[00:02:03]
Reality steps into view[00:02:09]
No longer living life in paradise or fairy tales yes[00:02:14]
I don't look for pie up in the sky baby[00:02:28]
Need reality now said I[00:02:35]
Don't feel the need to be pacified[00:02:39]
Don't cha try[00:02:43]
Honey I know you lied[00:02:45]
You never came to save me[00:02:48]
You let me stand alone[00:02:51]
Out in the wilderness alone in the cold[00:02:53]
I found no magic potion[00:02:59]
No horse with wings to fly[00:03:01]
I found the poison apply[00:03:03]
My destiny to die[00:03:06]
No royal kiss could save me[00:03:09]
No magic spell to spin[00:03:11]
My fantasy is over[00:03:13]
My life must now begin[00:03:16]
My story ends as stories do[00:03:19]
Reality steps into view[00:03:25]
No longer living life in paradise no fairy tales[00:03:29]
Eh hey hey-ee-mmm mmm[00:03:39]
