My mama 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 I soonly realized 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 were riding side by side
Don't wanna 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 get myself that it has got to be an equal thing
[Chorus:]
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
(Chorus to fade)
When I was just a little girl My mama 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 I soonly realized 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 were riding side by side Don't wanna 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 get myself that it has got to be an equal thing [Chorus:] 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 (Chorus to fade) Explain Request ×
