Cinderella

Disney · Cinderella [1950]

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 bed and think about

the person that I wanted to be



Then one day, I realized

this 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 dont wanna be like someone waiting

For a handsome prince to come and save me

On a horse of white, unless somebody's on my side

Don't wanna be, no, no, no, no

I'd rather rescue my self



I can slay my own dragon

I can dream my own dream

My knight in shinin' armor, is me

So I'm gonna set me free



I don't wanna be like Cinderella

sittin' in a dark, old, dusty cellar

Waitin' for somebody to come and set me free

I dont wanna be like someone waiting

For a handsome prince to come and save me

On a horse of white, unless somebody's on my side

Don't wanna be, no, no, no, no

I'd rather rescue myself.
