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 and end 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 be like Cinderella Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting For a handsome prince to come and me On a horse of white, unless we're riding side by side Don't want to depend on no-one I'd 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 happy just the 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 to be, an equal thing (Chorus) I can slay, my own I can dream, my own dreams My knight in shining armour is me So I'm gonna set me free
