Song Lyrics

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 want to be
Then one day I realized the fairy tale life wasn't for me

I don't want to be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free
I don't want to 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
Sitting in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free
I don't want to 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 (no)

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

I don't want to be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free
I don't want to 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 want to be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free
I don't want to 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 want to be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free
I don't want to 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
