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 me 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 side Don't want to be no no no one else I'd rather rescue myself Someday 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 me I 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 equally 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 side Don't want to be no no no one else I'd rather rescue myself I can slay my own dragon I can dream my own dreams My knight in shining armor is me So 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 side I 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 side Don't want to be no no no one else I'd rather rescue myself Don't want to be no no no one else I'd rather rescue myself!
