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 and
end up with the glory
I'd lie in bed and think about 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, cold, dusty cellar
waitin' for somebody to come and set me free
I don't want to be like someone waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On, I will survive, unless survive is on my side
Don't want to depend on no O-O-O one else
I'd rather rescue myself

Someday I'm gonna that wants
Somebody,sole, heart, and mind
Who's not afraid to show that he loves me
Someody who will understand
I'm happy just the way I am
Don't need noody taking care of taking care of me
I will there for him just as strong
as he will be there for me
When I myself that it
has to e and equal thing

Chorus

I can slay my own dragons
I can dream my own dreams
My night in shing armor is me
So I'm gonna set me free

Chorus 2 times

Don't depend on no-no-no one else
I'd rather rescue myself
