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 want to be
Then one day I realized the fairy tale life wasnt for me
I dont want to be like Cinderella
Sittin in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free
I dont want to 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
Sitting in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free
I dont want to 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 (no)
I can slay my own dragons
I can dream my own dreams
My knight in shining armor is me
So Im gonna set me free
I dont want to be like Cinderella
Sittin in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free
I dont want to 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 be like Cinderella
Sittin in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free
I dont want to 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 dont want to be like Cinderella
Sittin in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free
I dont want to 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
