Don’t tell me that story
I’ve heard it before
Save all of those love songs
For one you adore

I played Cinderella
Lost my slipper at the ball
And when it all was over
It wasn’t any ball at all, at all

Don’t read me that poetry
Don’t quote me that prose
Save all of those stories
‘Bout me and the rose

But if you really mean them
Come a little closer then
Start right back from the beginning
I wanna hear them again

I played Humpty Dumpty
Sat upon a garden wall
and when it all was over
I didn’t like that fall at all, at all

Don’t read me that poetry
Don’t quote me that prose
Don’t feed me those
That everyone knows

But if you really mean them
Come a little closer then
Start right back from the beginning
I wanna hear them again

I want to hear them again
