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 gloryI'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 meI don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody
To come and set me freeI don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse so white
Unless were riding side by sideDon't want to depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myselfSomeday, 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 meI will be there for him just as strong as he will be there for me
When I give myself, then it has got to be an equal thingI don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody
To come and set me freeI don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse so white
Unless were riding side by sideDon't want to depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myselfI can slay my own dragons
I can dream my own dreams
My knight in shining armor
Is me, so I'm gonna set me freeI don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody
To come and set me freeI don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse so white
Unless were riding side by sideI don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody
To come and set me freeI don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse so white
Unless were riding side by sideDon't want to depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myselfI don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody
To come and set me freeI don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse so white
Unless were riding side by sideDon't want to depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself
