Cinderella

Cinderella
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 wanted to be
Then one day I realized the
Fairy tale life, wasn't for me
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark ol' dusty cellar
Waitin' for somebody to come
And set me free
I don't wanna be someone waiting
For a handsome prince to come
And save me all I will survive
Unless somebody's on my side
Don't wanna be, no, no, no, no
Oh yes, I'd rather rescue myself
I can save my own
(I can save)
Dragons, I can dream my own dreams
(My own dreams)
My knight in shining armor is me
So I'm gonna set me free
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark ol' dusty cellar
Waitin' for somebody to come
And set me free
