When I was just a little girl

My mama used to tuck me into bed

And she 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 my boyfriend's bed

and have so much fun

Chorus:

I dont wanna be like Cinderella

Sitting in a dark old dusty cellar

Waiting for somebody to come and set me free

I dont wanna be like Snow White waiting

For a handsome prince to come and save me

On a horse of white unless were riding side by side

Dont wanna depend on 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 for him just as strong as he will be there for me

When I get myself that it has got to be an equal thing



(Chorus)



I can slay my own dragons

I can dream my own dreams

My knight in shining armor is me

So I'm gonna set me free



(Chorus to fade)
