When I was just a little girl
My momma used to tuck me into bed
And she'd read me a story
It always was about a Princess in distress
And how a guy would save her and theydend up with the glory
I'd lie in bed, and think about the person that
I wanted to be
Then one day I realized, the fairy tale life
Wasn't for me
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white, unless we're riding side by side
Don't want to depend on no on else
I'd rather rescue myself
Someday I'm gonna find someone that wants somebody's soul, heart, and mind
Who's not afraid to show that he loves me
Somebody who will understand I'm happy just the way I am
Don't need nobody taking care of me
I will be there for him just as strong as he, will be there for me
When I give myself then it has got to be, an equal thing
[Chorus]
I can slay, my own dragons
I can dream, my own dreams
My knight in shining armor, is me....
So I'm gonna set me free
Yeah
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white, unless we're riding side by side
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white, unless we're riding side by side
[Chorus]
