Cinderella

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When I was just a little girl My mama used to tuck me into bed 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 [Pre-Chorus] I'd lie in bed and think about the person that I want to be Then one day I realized The fairy tale life wasn't for me [Chorus] I don't wanna be like Cinderella Sitting in a dark cold dusty cellar Waiting for somebody To come and set me free I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting For a handsome prince to come and save me On a horse of white Unless we're riding side by side Don't wanna depend on no one else I'd rather rescue myself [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] (I will be there) I will be there for him Just as strong as he Will be there for me When I give myself then it has got to be An equal thing [Chorus] I don't wanna be like Cinderella Sitting in a dark cold dusty cellar Waiting for somebody To come and set me free I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting For a handsome prince to come and save me On a horse of white Unless we're riding side by side Don't wanna depend on no one else I'd rather rescue myself (Rescue myself, rescue myself) [Bridge] I can slay my own dragons I can dream my own dreams (My own dreams) My knight in shining armor (Shining armor) Is me So I'm gonna set me free [Chorus] I don't wanna be like Cinderella Sitting in a dark cold dusty cellar Waiting for somebody To come and set me free I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting For a handsome prince to come and save me On a horse of white Unless we're riding side by side I don't wanna be like Cinderella Sitting in a dark cold dusty cellar Waiting for somebody (Oh-oh) To come and set me free I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting For a handsome prince to come and save me On a horse of white Unless we're riding side by side Don't wanna depend on no one else I'd rather rescue myself I don't wanna be like Cinderella Sitting in a dark cold dusty cellar Waiting for somebody To come and set me free, oh I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting For a handsome prince to come and save me On a horse of white Unless we're riding side by side Don't wanna depend on no one else I'd rather rescue myself
