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 prince, a cinder`s dress
And how a guy would save her
And end up with the glory
I`d lie and I`d think about the person that
I want to be
Though one day I realized
The fairy-tale life
Wasn`t for me
I don`t wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin` in a dark, old, 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 ridin` 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 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 long as he
Will be there for me
When I get myself steady
It`s got to be
An equal thing
I don`t wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin` in a dark, old, 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 ridin` side by side
