When I was just a little girl My momma used to tuck me into bed and read me a story It always was about a Princess in distress And how a guy would save her and up with the glory I'd lie bed and 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 dusty cellar Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free I don't wanna be like Snow waiting For a 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 I'd rather rescue myself I'm gonna find someone who wants my soul, heart and mind Who's 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 for him as strong as he, will be there for me When I give myself then it has to be, an equal thing (Chorus) I can slay, my own dragon I can dream, my own dreams My knight in shining armour is So I'm gonna set me free
