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 theydend 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

[Chorus]
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 on else
I´d rather rescue myself

Someday I´m gonna find someone that wants somebody´s 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 got to be, an equal thing

[Chorus]

I can slay, my own dragons
I can dream, my own dreams
My knight in shining armor, is me....

So I´m gonna set me free
Yeah

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

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

[Chorus]
