Tata Young-Cinderella

When I was just a little girl
My momma 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
and end up with the glory
I&9d lie in bed and think about the person that
I wanted to be
Then one day I realized the fairy tale life
wasn&9t for me
I don&9t wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin&9 in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody
to come and set me free
I don&9t wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white
unless we&9re riding side by side
Don&9t want to depend on no-one else
I&9d rather rescue myself

Someday I&9m gonna find someone
who wants my soul
heart and mind Who&9s not afraid
to show that he loves me
Somebody who will understand
I&9m happy just the way I am
Don&9t 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
I don&9t wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin&9 in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody
to come and set me free
I don&9t wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white
unless we&9re riding side by side
Don&9t want to depend on no-one else
I&9d rather rescue myself

I can slay
my own dragon
I can dream
my own dreams
My knight in shining armour is me
So I&9m gonna set me free
I don&9t wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin&9 in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody
to come and set me free
I don&9t wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white
unless we&9re riding side by side
I don&9t wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin&9 in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody
to come and set me free
I don&9t wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white
unless we&9re riding side by side
Don&9t want to depend on no-one else
I&9d rather rescue myself
I don&9t wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin&9 in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody
to come and set me free
I don&9t wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white
unless we&9re riding side by side
Don&9t want to depend on no-one else
I&9d rather rescue myself
