When I was just a little girl My momma used to tuck me 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 and think about the person that I wanted to be Then one day I realized fairy tale life wasn't for me (Chorus) I don't wanna be like Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free 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 want to depend on no-one else I'd rather rescue myself Someday 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 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 I give myself then it has got to be, an equal thing (Chorus) I can slay, own dragon I can dream, my own dreams My knight in shining armour is me So I'm gonna set me free
