When I was just a little girl
My momma used to tuck me into bed
and she'd read me a story

It always was about a Princess in distre
ss

And how a guy would save her and end up
with the glory


I'd lie in bed and think about the perso
n that I wanted to be

Then one day I realized the fairy tale l
ife wasn't for me

[Chorus]
I don't wanna 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 save m
e

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


Someday I'm gonna find someone who wants
my soul, heart, and mind

Who's not afraid to show that he loves m
e

Somebody who will understand I'm happy j
ust the way I am
Don't need nobody taking care of me


I will be there for him just as strong a
s he will be there for me

When I give myself then it has to got to
be, an equal thing

[Chorus]

I can slay, my own dragons
I can dream, my own dreams
My knight in shining armour is me
So I'm gonna set me free
