Lyrics
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 fairytale life wasn't for me
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
On my own I will survive
Unless somebody's on my side
Don't wanna be no, no, no one else
I'd rather rescue myself
Someday I'm gonna find someone
That wants me body, 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 that he has got to be
An equal pair
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
On my own I will survive
Unless somebody's on my side
Don't wanna be no, no, no one else
I'd rather rescue myself
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 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
On my own I will survive
Unless somebody's on my side
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
On my own I will survive
Unless somebody's on my side
Don't wanna be no, no, no one else
I'd rather rescue myself
