I was just a little girl My momma 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 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 in a dark old dusty cellar Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free I wanna be like Snow White waiting For a handsome prince to come and save me On a horse white, unless we're riding side by side Don't want to depend on no-one else I'd rather rescue myself Someday I'm gonna find someone who wants my heart and mind Who's not 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 just as as he, will be there for me When I give then it has got to be, an equal thing (Chorus) I can slay, my own dragon I can dream, my own dreams My knight in armour is me So I'm gonna set me free
