Cinderella

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 her glory
I'd lie in bed and think about the person
That I wanted to be
Then one day I realized that fairy tale life wasn't for meI don't want to be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark cold dusty cellar
Waitin' for somebody to come and set me free
I don't want to be like someone waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
Oh I will survive
Unless somebody's on my sideDon't want to be no no no one else
I'd rather rescue myselfSomeday I'm gonna find someone that
Wants me for my soul, heart, and mind
Whose 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 meI will be there for him just as strong as he will be there for me
When I get myself ready it has got to be an equallyI don't want to be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark cold dusty cellar
Waitin' for somebody to come and set me free
I don't want to be like someone waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
Oh I will survive
Unless somebody's on my sideDon't want to be no no no one else
I'd rather rescue myselfI can slay my own dragon
I can dream my own dreams
My knight in shining armor is meSo I'm gonna set me free, yeah
I don't want to be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark cold dusty cellar
Waitin' for somebody to come and set me free
I don't want to be like someone waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
Oh I will survive
Unless somebody's on my sideI don't want to be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark cold dusty cellar
Waitin' for somebody to come and set me free, no
I don't want to be like someone waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
Oh I will survive
Unless somebody's on my sideDon't want to be no no no one else
I'd rather rescue myselfDon't want to be no no no one else I'd rather rescue myself!
