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
