Don't Tell Me That Story

Don't Tell Me That Story - Judy Garland/Dick Haymes

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

About 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 brow my

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
