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

id lie in bed and think about

the person that i wanted to be

then one day i realized

the fairy tale life wasnt for me

i dont wanna be like Cinderella

sittin 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

dont want to depend on no-one else

id rather rescue myself

Someday Im gonna find someone who wants my soul, heart, and mind

Whos not afraid to show that he loves me

Somebody who will understand Im happy just the way I am

Dont 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 dont wanna be like Cinderella

sittin 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

dont want to depend on no-one else

id rather rescue myself

I can slay, my own dragons

I can dream, my own dreams

My knight in shining armour is me

So Im gonna set me free

i dont wanna be like Cinderella

sittin 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

unless were riding side by side

on a horse of white

i dont wanna be like Cinderella

sittin 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

dont want to depend on no-one else

I dont wanna be like Cinderella

id rather rescue myself

Sittin 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

Dont want to depend on no one else

Id rather rescue myself
