Cinderella

When I was just a little girl My mama 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 wanted to be Then one day, I realized the fairy tale life wasn't for me I don't wanna be like Cinderella Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar (oh, no, ooh) Waiting for somebody to come and set me free (come and set me free) I don't wanna be like someone waiting (oh no) For a handsome prince to come and save me On, I will survive, I know somebody's on my side Don't wanna depend on no one 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) I will be there for him Just as strong as he will be there for me When I give myself that, it has got to be an equal thing I don't wanna be like Cinderella Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar (oh, no) Waiting for somebody (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, I know somebody's on my side Don't wanna depend on no one else I'd rather rescue myself I can slay (I can slay) my own dragons I can dream my own dreams (my own dreams) My knight in shining armor (shining armor) 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, I know 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 (no) I don't wanna be like someone waiting For a handsome prince to come and save me On, I will survive, I know somebody's on my side Don't wanna depend on no one else I'd rather rescue myself
