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
