When I was just a little girl
My momma 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 lie in bed and think about
The person that I wanted to be
Then one day I realized
That fairy tale life wasn't for me
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark, cold, 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
oh I will survive
I know 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
Sitting in a dark, cold, 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
oh I will survive
I know somebody's on my side
Don't wanna be no, no, no one else
I'd rather rescue myself
