When I was just a little girl
My mama 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 fairytale life wasn't for me
I don't wanna be like Cinderella, sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free (no)
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

Uh, yeah, check it out
Someday I'm gonna find someone who wants me, body, 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 that, it has got to be an equal seat
I don't wanna be like Cinderella, sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free (no)
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 (no)
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
I don't wanna be like Cinderella, sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar (no way, oh no)
Waiting 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
I don't wanna be like Cinderella, sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free (yeah, yeah, why don't you set me free?)
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting

Waiting for somebody to come and set me free (oh-oh-oh-oh)
