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 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 that fairy tale life wasn't for me.
I dont wanna be like cinderella
Sitting in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free
I dont wanna be like Snow white waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white, unless were riding side by side
I don't want to depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself!
Someday I'm gonna find somebody that wants my soul, heart and mind
And is 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 him 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
Sitting in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free
I dont wanna be like Snow white waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white, unless were riding side by side
I dont want to depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself!
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
I don't wanna be like cinderella
Sitting in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody
To come and set me free
I dont wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse in white unless were riding side by side
I don't want to depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself!
