When I was just
a little girl
My momma used to
tuck me into bed
and
she read me a story
It always was about
a Princess in distress
And how a guy
would save her
and end 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
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-one else
I'd rather
rescue myself
Someday
I'm gonna find someone
who wants my 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)
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
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 one else
I'd rather
rescue myself
I can slay
my own dragon
I can dream
my own dreams
My knight in
shining armour
is me
So
I'm gonna set me free
like Cinderella
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
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 one else
I'd rather
rescue myself
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 one else
I'd rather
rescue myself
