When I was just a little girl My mama used to tuck me into bed And she 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 my boyfriend's bed and have so much fun Chorus: I don't wanna be like Cinderella Sitting in a dark old dusty cellar Waiting for somebody to come and set me free I donґt wanna be like Snow White waiting For a handsome prince to come and save me On a horse of white unless were riding side by side Donґt wanna depend on no one else I'd rather rescue myself Someday I'm gonna find someone Who wants my soul, heart, and mind Who's not afraid to show that he loves me Somebody who will understand I'm happy just the way I am Don't need nobody taking care of me I will be there for him just as strong as he will be there for me When I get myself that it has got to be an equal thing (Chorus) 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 (Chorus to fade)
