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 the Fairy tale life, wasn't for me I don't wanna be like Cinderella Sittin' in a dark ol' dusty cellar Waitin' for somebody to come And set me free I don't wanna be someone waiting For a handsome prince to come And save me all I will survive Unless somebody's on my side Don't wanna be, no, no, no, no Oh yes, I'd rather rescue myself I can save my own (I can save) Dragons, I can dream my own dreams (My own dreams) 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 ol' dusty cellar Waitin' for somebody to come And set me free
