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
fairy-tale life wasn't for me

CHORUS:
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 I will survive
when somebody's on my side
don't wanna be no no no one else
I'd rather rescue myself

I can slay my own dragons
I'll dream my own dreams
My night in
Shining armor
Is me
So I'm gonna set me free

CHORUS x 2
