Cinderella

When I was just a little girl my mama 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
    endin' 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 cold, dusty cellar
Waitin' for somebody to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waitin'
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white (unless we're riding side by side)
Don't wanna 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 me
Somebody who will understand I'm happy just the way I am
Don't need nobody takin' care of me
I will be there for him just as strong as he will be there for me
When I get 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)
