Anita Baker - Fairy tales

Tekst :

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

    I hate myself and i want to die

    Running nose and runny yolk
    Even if you have a cold still
    You can cough on me again
    I still haven t had my full fill

    In the someday -- What s that sound?
    End it someday -- What s that song?

    Close my eyes

    If I could just close my eyes
    See just what I wanted to see
    It would be much easier to live this life,
    Thinking that it never really comes down to me

    Sometimes I wanna close my eyes
    So I can t see time...

    Very ape

    I
    am buried up to my neck in
    Contradictionary flies
    I take pride as the kind of illiterature
    I m very ape and very nice

    If you ever need anything please don t hesitate
    to ask someone else first
    I m too busy acting like I m not naive.

    Promesas

    Come el animal de su perdido hermano
    Dejando las sobras para los que vendran
    Destina su vida a ocultar la verdad
    Se adueña de ilusiones despreciando a los demas

    El triste llanto de nuestros hijos
    Que denuncian su explotacion

    Moviendo personas como piezas de ajedres
    Ten mucho cuidado y no vayas a perder
    La mano que ordena no...

    On the edge of a dream that s where you ll find me
    The edge of a dream all seems so real

    At the edge of the world is where you ll find yourself
