Fairy Tales [edited Version] Lyrics - Anita Baker

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 potion, 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
