Cinderella

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

I'd lie in bed and think about the person

That I wanted 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

I 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 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 dragon

I can dream my own dreams

My knight in shining armour is me

So I'm gonna set me free

I don't wanna be like Cinderella

Sitting in a dark cold dusty cellar

Waiting for somebody

To come and set me free

I don't wanna be like someone waiting

For a handsome prince to come and save me

On I will survive

Unless somebody's on my side

I don't wanna be like Cinderella

Sitting in a dark cold dusty cellar

Waiting for somebody to come and set me free

I don't wanna be like someone waiting

For a handsome prince to come and save me

On I will survive

Unless somebody's on my side

Don't wanna be no no no I wanna no

I'd rather rescue myself
