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
endin' up with the glory
I'd lie in bed and think about the person that I wanted to be
then one day I realised the fairy tale life wasn't for me
Chorus: I don't wanna be like Cinderella
sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
waitin for somebody to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
for a handsome prince to come and save me
on a horse of white unless we're riding side by side
don't wanna depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself
some day 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 takin' 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 got to be an equal thing
(Chorus)
I can slay my own dragon
I can dream my own dream
my knight in shining armor is me
so I'm gonna set me free
(Chorus x3)
