No whoa oh oh oh whoa

when I was just a little girl 

my momma used to tuck me into bed and she'd read me a story (uh huh)

it was always bout a princess in distress and how the guy would save her

and end up with the glory (glory)

I'd lie in bed think about the person that I wanted to be

then one day I realized the fairytale life

wasn't for me



I don't wanna be like Cinderella

sittin in her dark cold dusty cellar

waiting for somebody to come and set me free (no whoa)

I don't wanna be like Snow White waitin

for a handsome prince to come and save me

on a horse of white unless were ridin side by side

don't wanna depend on no one else I'd rather rescue myself



uh no whoa oh whoa oh uh yeah check it out



Someday I'm gonna find someone

who want's me body, soul, heart, and mind

whos not afraid to show that he loves me

somebody who will understand

I'm happy just the way I am (way I am)

don't need nobody takin care of me

(I will be there) I will be there for him just as strong as he will be there for me

when I tell myself it has got to be an equal thing



I don't wanna be like Cinderella

sittin in her dark cold dusty cellar

waiting for somebody to come and set me free (no whoa)

I don't wanna be like Snow White waitin

for a handsome prince to come and save me

on a horse of white unless were ridin side by side

don't wanna depend on no one else I'd rather rescue myself

(rescue myself)

no whoa



I can slay my own dragons

I can dream my own dreams

my night in shining armour is me

so I'm gonna set me free



I don't wanna be like Cinderella

sittin in her dark cold dusty cellar (waiting oh no)

waiting for somebody to come and set me free (no whoa)

I don't wanna be like Snow White waitin

for a handsome prince to come and save me (save me)

on a horse of white unless were ridin side by side (side by side)
