Cinderella
When I was just a little girl
My momma 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 that fairy tale life wasn't for me
I don't wanna be like Cinderella sittin' in a dark, cold, dusty cellar
Waiting 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
Oh I will survive, unless somebody's on my side
Don't wanna be no, no, no one else
I'd rather rescue myself
Someday I'm gonna find someone
That wants my soul, heart, and mind
Who's 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 give myself then it has to got to be, an equal thing
I don't wanna be like Cinderella sittin' in a dark, cold, dusty cellar
Waiting 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
Oh I will survive, unless 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 can dream, my own dreams
And my knight in shining armor is me
So I'm gonna set me free
I don't wanna be like Cinderella sittin' in a dark, cold, dusty cellar
Waiting 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
Oh I will survive, unless somebody's on my side
I don't wanna be like Cinderella sittin' in a dark, cold, dusty cellar
Waiting 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
Oh I will survive, unless somebody's on my side
Don't wanna be no, no, no one else
I'd rather rescue myself
