Baker, Anita - Fairy Tales Lyrics
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
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 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 this wilderness, alone in the cold
I found no magic portion, 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, hey - eee - mmm, mmm

Baker, Anita Fairy Tales Comments
The song sounds like a dream but depicts a nightmare! True talent I love the contrast in which the writer created! Would not be what it is with out the Miss Queen Anita Baker vocals are irreplaceable!
Get n2ret!!!!!
Orgasm starts at 4:00....
I’m like 15 and this is probably my most favorite song ever from her
I love fairy tales.
Anita Baker has captured the soul of love. I recall having my daughters listening to this song, then when they met their boyfriends, their eyes were open to what could happen.
My life...
Happy day
This beat is so phenomenal
I love me some Anita Baker!
Music that tells you the reality of love beyond a fairy tale. Timeless classic that continues to make you want to listen to this over and over again

Fairytales 🧚🏿♀️🌬🌈here in 11/11/19🎼💋
When Anita stepped on the scene back in the mid 80’s she blew the doors off the music world. She just absolutely killed it y’all!!!!!
Love it
I am. Listen to this song all the time. When you turn 50 it will be your reality
Its a message in this song
Use to listen to this on the bus on the way to school
The greatest female singer in the world!!
I know one thing Fairytales When You Believe in someone embracing with full hearted and that is not what it seems to be it's really hurt what days are promised and you let down his hurt well some people say man pain to gain but they not all the time and why we had to go through so much pain in dreams that don't never come true living in misery well I would say this year Steve's everybody have the right to pursue happiness last Chevy Chase and dreams cause and develop mental diseases
You never came to save me....Wow powerful & true!
That poor piano.
Anita Baker is no fairytale! Her vocals are under appreciated! Small framed songstress with a large voice! Always loved her music! Another classic!
The One & Only 💋❤️💎👑
The band tho love this song
Song that brings reality to the perfect story of a fairy tale. Who better to sing and tell you how it is than Anita

Am feeling sad sitting here at work listening to Anita Baker, just go word from a friend my ex passed away last Thursday the 23 /92019, RIP mounty🙏🙏❤️❤️you introduced me to her music,
Likewise, this sums it up, the transition from fairy-tales to reality. Painful, but in the end; when you grow you up, you learn you get to choose. Thank you for this powerful anthem. Blessings 💕
🎶 "No living life in paradise..."🎶 🎙🎹
She is talking about the happiness she had in the beginning of her music career and then it showed its true face. So she turned to God because her mom told her he would always save her from the evils of the music business but he was no where to be found, "Fairy Tale".
Two best female vocist ever!! Patti Labelle and Anita baker!!!!! Enough talk.
CD 101.9 in New York killed her music. Classy, sultry, sexy with never lasting love. Till this day some of the Smoothest jazz second to none by a very classy Woman! A story in every song! Reality comes into view, no fairytales🖤🎷🖤🎺🖤🎸🖤🎻🎶🎵
the brother exploding on the 88s in the last 3 1/2 minutes is Greg Phillaganes
Vary vary nice
I never knew how deep this song was until i became older. WOW!
A friend yesterday said her kids keep sayin to each other: THAT'S NOT FAIR. And she said where they get that? Sometimes life just aint fair.
My Lord,my God......who's playing that "PIANO" !!!!!????
True story my mother sang this to me as a baby & a kid & it would put me to sleep. No lie 30 something years later still has the same affect. I love this song. I also can't listen to it in the car because I will get sleepy lol!!!
“The story ends, as stories do. Reality steps into view”. I feel those two lines so much.
I can remember my mister wonderful .His lost
💚💚💚
Song of the day
Anita Baker. Her music gets me through this journey called life💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
The ending is cold, this is my Jam!
Among the best songs ever!
The piano player kills it, and Anita saaaaaang it, but whoever wrote this is a genius. I remember this song made me sad when I was a little girl, but now I understand it. I've lived it. "My fantasy is over; my life must now begin!"
Fairy tales go nicely with popcorn and champagne
Who ever wrote these lyrics is brilliant
Anita Baker is an all time favorite around the globe, most articulate with word and range, tho as a title to every song written in respect to expression and experience to such (title) for the most part warranted, I prefer to never give up on love, disappointments are okay fairy tales are part of Hope and Faith with love being the strongest, this listener believes with love being the strongest, fairy tales are real, just as Love is... we love you GUYS ...
You never came to save me you let me stand alone!! Out in the wilderness! Alone in the cold! I felt that
Realest part of the song....
The realist song ever wrote, spoke for women across the world and for thousands of years of voices silenced,eons ago, this is our story!!!!
Seriously can't live no fairytales. Must know thy worth
Who’s still listening late 2019?
Me. Ms. Baker is timeless.
I damn sure is! lol
@M Pop here again, lol.
100 Anita, beautiful music 🎶
The piano is the star
I love this song!
Rip Doug enjoy heaven
