When I was just a little girl

My mama 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 want to be

Then one day I realized the fairy tale life wasn't for me

[Chorus]

I don't wanna be like Cinderella

Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar

Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free

I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting

For a handsome prince to come and save me

No, I will survive, unless we're riding side by side

Don't want to 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 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 to 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 x3]
