Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When I was just a little girl

My mama used to tuck me into bed

And she'd read me a story

[Verse 2]

It always was about a princess in distress

And how a guy would save her

And end up with the glory

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

I don't wanna be like Cinderella

Sittin' in a dark, cold, dusty cellar

Waitin' 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

Oh, and I will survive, I know somebody's on my side

Don't wanna depend on no one else

I'd rather rescue myself

[Verse 5]

Ooh, yeah

[Verse 6]

Someday I'm gonna find someone

That wants somebody's soul, heart and mind

Who's not afraid to show that he loves me

[Verse 7]

Somebody who will understand I'm happy just the way I am

Don't need nobody takin' care of me

[Verse 8]

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

[Verse 9]

I don't wanna be like Cinderella

Sittin' 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

I know I will survive, I know somebody's on my side

Don't wanna depend on no one else

I'd rather rescue myself

[Verse 10]

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

[Verse 11]

I don't wanna be like Cinderella

Sittin' 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

I know I will survive, I know somebody's on my side

[Verse 12]

I don't wanna be like Cinderella

Sittin' in a dark, cold, dusty cellar

Waitin' 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

I know I will survive, I know somebody's on my side

Don't wanna depend on no one else

I'd rather rescue myself
