Cinderella

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 wanted to be Then one day I realized the fairy tale life wasn't for me [Chorus:] 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 got to be, an equal thing [Chorus:] I can slay, my own dragon I can dream, my own dreams My knight in shining armor is me So I'm gonna set me free [Chorus:]
