Don't Make Me A Storyteller

(album: The Dells - 1973)

Let me, let me, let me
Let me be right girl
Don't let me be wrong, wrong, wrong
Make me look good girl

Told my friends that you'd forgiven me
And that you were coming back home
Told my friends you really needed me
And you'd never leave me alone
But when I'm by myself
I just have to cry, cry, cry
Cause I know that I
I was telling a lie
Baby, please have a little sympathy on me
And come back home
Don't let me be wrong

Don't make me a storyteller
I wanna be right
Don't make me a storyteller
I don't wanna be wrong
Don't make me a storyteller
Oh, no no no, no no no

Told my friends that they'd all see you anyday now
Told my friends that you promised you would stay now
But when I'm by myself
I just have to cry, cry, cry
Cause I know that I
I was telling a lie
Baby, please have a little sympathy on me
And come back home
Don't let me be wrong

Don't make me a storyteller
I got to be right
Don't make me a storyteller
I don't wanna be wrong
Don't make me a storyteller
Oh, no no no, no no no

Girl, I know it's rare in this day and time
To find someone to feel like I do about you
Cause only last night I looked at your picture on the night stand
And prayed to God it would come to life

Just let me be right girl
Don't make me a storyteller
