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

[Chorus]
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 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

[Chorus]

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
