and she'd read me a story.
It always was of 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 that fairy tale life wasn't for me.
I dont want to be like cinderella
Sitting in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free
I dont want to be like Snow white waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
In a horse of white, unless were riding side by side
I dont want to depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself!
{ooh, noo}
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 dont want to be like cinderella
Sitting in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody
To come and set me free
I dont want to be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
In a horse in white unless were riding side by side
I dont want to be like cinderella
Sitting in a dark old dust cellar
Waiting for a handsome guy to come and set me free
I dont want to be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse in white unless were riding side by side
Dont want to depend on no one else
Id rather rescue myself!
