When I was just a little girl
my momma used to tuck me into bed
and she'd read me a story


It was always '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 a fairy-tale life
wasn't for me


I dont wanna be like Cinderella
sittin in a dark cold dusty celler

waitin for sombody to come
and set me free
I dont wanna be that someone waitin

for a handsome prince to come and save me
No I will survive Without somebody on my side don't wanna be
NoNo NoNo No I'd rather rescue myself


I can slay my own dragons
I can dream my own dreams

my knight in armor is me
so I'm gonna set me free


I dont wanna be like Cinderella
sittin in a dark cold dusty celler
waitin for sombody to come

and set me free
I dont wanna be that someone waitin
for a handsome prince to come and save me

No I will survive Without somebody on my side don't wanna be
NoNo NoNo No I'd rather rescue myself
