Story Teller

[Verse 1]
I'm no story teller, never claimed to be
So why I'm telling you now, well, it's beyond me
The tale bears repeating, I think you'll agree
So come listen, come listen to my story

[Verse 2]
There once was a boy, didn't know who he was
Lived alone with his mother out in Los Angeles
Swear I didn't know him until that day
He addressed a letter to his long-lost Daddy

[Verse 3]
He wrote right away, let me put you at ease
But I'm eighteen years old now and I do what I plеase
Yes, I won't betray you, I just want my Dad
Samе one Mother talked about so bad

[Chorus]
I know there was more than a casual affair
Yeah, it's in her eyes
How she looks at me, oh how she stares
You should see how she stares

[Verse 4]
I suppose you did the right thing by going to stay with your wife
Oh, but leaving us wounded and gaping and seared for life
Hope you don't mind me writing so openly, sir
But I have to do this, if not for me then for her

[Chorus]
I know you and Mother had more than a casual affair
Yeah, it's in her eyes
Come and look at her, oh how she stares
You should see how she stares

[Outro]
So now that you have heard me tell my tale
And the mockingbird won't betray
You know that's the last time I'm reading my Daddy's mail
And I'm no story teller, never claimed to be
