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
