When I was just a little girl
my mama 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'd lie in bed and think about
the person that I wanted to be
then one day I realized
this fairy tale life wasn't for me

I don't wanna be like Cinderella
sittin' in a dark cold dusty cellar
waitin' for somebody to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like someone waiting
for a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white.
Unless somebody's on my side
Don't wanna depend on no..no..no one else
I'd rather rescue myself

some day im gonna find someone that wants my soul heart and mind
whos not afraid to show that  he loves somebody who will understand
im happy just the way i am dont need nobody takin care of me i will be iw will be
there for him just as strong ar he will bethere for when i get my self
then it has got to an equal thang

I can slay my own dragons
I can dream my own dreams
my night in shining armor is me
SO I'M GONNA SET ME FREE!!
