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

I'd lie in bed and think about the person that I want to be
Then one day I realized the fairy tale life wasn't for me

(Chorus:)
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting 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 me
on a horse so white unless were riding side by side
Don't want to depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself

Someday I'm gonna find someone that 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 way I am
Don't need nobody taking care of me

i will be there for him just as long as he will be there for me,
When i give myself then it has got to be an equal thing

(Chorus)

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

(Chorus x3)
