Fairy Tales - Anita Baker

Fairy Tales (LP版) - Anita Baker (安妮·塔贝克)
Written by：Anita Baker/Michael Powell/Vernon D. Fails
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
