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 want 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 for him just as strong as he will be there for me

When I give myself then it has to 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 dragons

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
