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 bed and think about
the person that I wanted to be
Then one day, I realized
this fairy-tale life wasn't for me
Chorus:
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
sittin' in a dark, old, dusty cellar
Waitin' for somebody to come and set me free
I dont 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 be, no, no, no, no
I'd rather rescue my self
I can slay my own dragon
I can dream my own dream
My knight in shinin' armor, is me
So I'm gonna set me free
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
sittin' in a dark, old, dusty cellar
Waitin' for somebody to come and set me free
I dont 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 be, no, no, no, no
I'd rather rescue myself.
