Tell Me a Story

Tell me a story I don't know Not like the one you've heard from lovers Ends with "baby don't you go" Tell me a story that'll break my wretched heart but do it slow Tell me a story I don't know Play me a tune that never leaves Like the one your mother taught you One with beauty and with ease Play me a tune that'll set my heart alight in Tennessee Play me a tune that never leaves Sing me a song o' darlin' please Something no one's ever heard of that'll bring me to my knees Sing me a song the way that Dolly sings that 'Early Mornin' Breeze' Sing me a song o' darlin' please Write me a letter that you mean One where the words jump off the page The kind that's few and far between Write me a letter that'll make me wanna be the best I've been Write me a letter that you mean Tell me a story I don't know Not like the one you've heard from lovers Ends with "baby don't you go" Tell me a story that'll break my wretched heart but do it slow Tell me a story I don't know
