Lyrics

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 lie in bed and think about
The person that I wanted to be
Then one day I realized
That fairytale life wasn't for me

[Chorus]
I don't wanna be like cinderella
Sitting 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 side
Don't wanna be no, no, no one else
I'd rather rescue myself

Someday I'm gonna find someone
Who 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)
I will be there for him just as strong as he will be there for me
When I give myself then it has got to be an equal thing

[Chorus]
I don't wanna be like cinderella
Sitting 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 (i can slay) my own dragons (my own dragons)
I can dream my own dreams (my own dreams)
My knight in shining armor (shining armor)
Is me
So I'm gonna set me free

[Chorus]
I don't wanna be like cinderella
Sitting 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
Sitting 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
