When i was just a little girl my momma used to tuk me into bed
and shed read me a story

it always was of 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 that fairy tale lfe wasn't for me

I dont want to be like cinderella
sitting in a dark old dusty cellar
waiting for somebody to come and set me free
i dont want to be like Snow white waiting
for a handsome man to come and save me
in a horse in white, unless were riding side by side
i dont want to depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself!

{ooh, noo

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

I dont want to be like cinderella
sitting in a dark old dusty cellar
waiting for somebody
to come and set me free
i dont want to be like snow white waiting
for a handsome guy to come and save me
in a horse in white unless were riding side by side

I dont want to be like cinderella
sitting in a dark old dust cellar
waiting for a handsome guy to come and set me free
i dont want to be like snow white waiting
for a handsome guy to come and save me
on a horse in white unless were riding side by side
dont want to depend on no one else
Id rather rescue myself!
