When I was just a little girl My momma used to tuck me into bed and she read me story It always was about a Princess in distress 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 the fairy tale life wasn't for me (Chorus) I don't wanna be like Cinderella Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar Waiting for to come and set me free I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting 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 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 strong he, be there for me When I give myself 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 shining armour is So I'm gonna set me free
