When I was just a little My momma used to tuck me into bed and she read me a story 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 think about the person that I wanted to be Then one day I realized the fairy tale life wasn't for me (Chorus) I don't wanna be like Cinderella Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar for somebody, to come and set me free I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting For handsome prince to come and save me On a horse of white, unless we're riding side by side Don't want to depend on no-one else rather rescue myself Someday I'm gonna someone who wants my soul, heart and mind Who's not afraid to show that he loves me Somebody who will understand I'm 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 give myself then it has got to be, an equal thing (Chorus) can slay, my own dragon I can dream, my own dreams knight in shining armour is me So I'm gonna set me free
