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 '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 a fairy-tale life
wasn't for me

I dont wanna be like Cinderella
sittin in a dark cold dusty celler
waitin for sombody to come
and set me free
I dont wanna be that someone waitin
for a handsome prince to come and save me
No I will survive Without somebody on my side don't wanna be
NoNo NoNo No I'd  rather rescue myself

I can slay my own dragons
I can dream my own dreams
my knight in armor is me
so I'm gonna set me free

I dont wanna be like Cinderella
sittin in a dark cold dusty celler
waitin for sombody  to come
and set me free
I dont wanna be that someone waitin
for a handsome prince to come and save me
No I will survive Without somebody on my side don't wanna be
NoNo NoNo No I'd  rather rescue myself
