When I was just a little girl, My mama used to tuck me into bed, And she'd read me a story. [CHANEL:] It always was about a princess in distress And how a guy would save her And end up with the glory. [DORINDA:] I'd lie in bed And think about The person that I wanted to be, [AQUA:] Then one day I realized The fairy tale life wasn't for me. [CHORUS ? ALL:] I don't wanna be like Cinderella, Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar, Waiting for somebody to come and set me free (Come and set me free) I don't wanna be like someone waiting For a handsome prince to come and save me Oh no will survive Unless somebody's on my side Don't wanna be No, no, no one else. I'd rather rescue myself. [ALL:] Someday I'm gonna find Someone Who wants my soul, heart and mind Whos not afraid to show that he loves me Somebody who will understand im happy just the way i am Dont need nobody taking care of me (i will be there)I will be there for him just as strong as he will be there for me when i give myself then it has got to be an equal thing [CHORUS ? ALL:] I don't wanna be like Cinderella, Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar, Waiting for somebody to come and set me free (Come and set me free) I don't wanna be like someone waiting For a handsome prince to come and save me Oh no will survive Unless somebody's on my side Don't wanna be No, no, no one else. I'd rather rescue myself. [ALL:] I can slay (I can slay) my own dragons. (My own dragons) I can dream my own dreams. (My own dreams) My knight in shining armor (shining armor) is me. So I'm gonna set me free. [CHORUS ? ALL:] I don't wanna be like Cinderella, Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar, Waiting for somebody to come and set me free. I don't wanna be like someone waiting For a handsome prince to come and save me Oh no will survive Unless somebody's on my side
I don't wanna be like Cinderella, Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar, Waiting for somebody (oh -Oh) to come and set me free. I don't wanna be like someone waiting For a handsome prince to come and save me Oh no will survive Unless somebody's on my side Don't wanna depend on, no one else. I'd rather rescue myself.
