Skye, you a special one
The one
CB, yeah, another one
I know you love me but I heard about you (Heard about you)
They say you ain’t good for me (So what?)
I don’t care ’cause it ain’t true, oh whoa
If they’re just stories (Yeah), I’d rather see for myself
I guess I’m the only one that still believes in
Fairytales
Feel like the only one (Oh whoa)
Is this a dream or a fairytale?
Am I the only one, only one? (Oh whoa)
I don’t wanna be the one you dream about
Only once in a while
You’re the type a girl I need to keep around me
I tell myself, yeah, yeah
Every night, I don’t wanna be the one you dream without
I want you by my side
When I see you, we go up every time
I mean every time (Every time)
I guess I’m the only one that still believes in fairytales
Adam ate the apple
Eve gave it to him
Still chasing the apple
I know what you’re doing
Now, let me tell you something
No, let me tell you
If I let you squeeze the apple, we gon’ make juice (Ayy)
‘Cause baby, when a real bitch want you
She could give a fuck ’bout rumors
Why would I believe the lies? (‘Bout a rumor)
I can see you with my own eyes
You’re like a fairytale
Feel like the only one (Feels like the only one, oh whoa)
Is this a dream or a fairytale? (Oh whoa)
Am I the only one, only one? (Oh whoa)
I don’t wanna be the one you dream about
Only once in a while
You’re the type a girl I need to keep around me
I tell myself, yeah, yeah
Every night, I don’t wanna be the one you dream without
I want you by my side
When I see you, we go up every time
I mean every time, every time
I guess I’m the only one that still believes in fairytales
Hey, hey
Listen
This is for my girls
Lemme tell you about a certain someone, ooh, yeah (Ooh yeah)
Said it wasn’t fake
I guess I’m the only one that still believes in
Fairytales
An Ode to Belief in Love
“Fairytale” by Chris Brown dives deep into the complexities of trust and belief in romantic relationships. The lyrics paint a picture of a love that faces skepticism and rumors from outsiders, yet the narrator chooses to believe in the magic and authenticity of his feelings. Brown draws on fairytale imagery, contrasting the harshness of reality with the hope and innocence often found in stories. The reference to Adam and Eve cleverly illustrates temptation and the consequences of trust, while the chorus’s refrain—wondering if he is the only one who still believes in “fairytales”—emphasizes vulnerability and unwavering faith in love despite doubt. Ultimately, the song encourages embracing one’s own experience over the opinions of others, celebrating a love that feels extraordinary and rare.
