(first verse)
When I was just a little girl
My momma used to tuck me into bed
And she'd read me a story
It was 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 I wanted to be (the person I wanted to be)
Though one day I realized the fairy tale life wasn't for me (the fairy tale life wasn't for me)
(chorus)
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 wanna 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 wanna depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself
(second verse)
Someday I'm gonna find someone who wants my soul, heart, and mind
Who's not afraid to show that he loves me (not afraid to show that he loves me)
Somebody who 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 (strong as he will be there for me)
When I give myself then it has got to be an equal thing (got to be an equal thing)
(chorus)
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free (Oh, oh, oh)
I don't wanna 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 wanna depend on no one else
I rather rescue myself (Rescue myself)
(third verse)
I can slay my own dragon (My own dragon)
I can dream my own dream (My own dream)
My knight in shining armor (shining armor) is me
So I'm gonna set me free
(chorus)
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 wanna 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
(chorus)
I don't wanna be like Cinderella (Cinderella)
Sitting in a dark old dusty cellar (Old dusty cellar)
Waiting for somebody, (Oh, oh)and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting (Snow White waiting)
For a handsome prince to come and save me (To come and save me)
On a horse of white, unless we're riding side by side
Don't wanna depend on no one else (Don't wanna depend on no one else)
I rather rescue myself (myself)
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark old cellar
Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free (to come and set me free)
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting (Snow White waiting)
For a handsome prince to come and save me (to come and save me)
On a horse of white, unless we're riding side by side
Don't wanna depend on no one else (Don't wanna depend on no on else)
I'd ratheer rescue myself
