[GALLERIA:]
|
When I was just a little girl,
|
My mama used to tuck me into bed,
|
And she'd read me a story.
|
|
[CHANEL:]
|
It always was about a princess in distress
|
And how a guy would save her
|
And end up with the glory.
|
|
[DORINDA:]
|
I'd lie in bed
|
And think about
|
The person that I wanted to be,
|
|
[AQUA:]
|
then one day I realized
|
The fairy tale life wasn’t for me.
|
|
[CHORUS ?ALL:]
|
I don’t wanna be like Cinderella,
|
Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar,
|
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free (Come and set me free)
|
I don’t wanna be like someone waiting
|
For a handsome prince to come and save me
|
On a horse of white
|
Unless somebody's on my side
|
Don’t wanna be
|
No, no, no one else.
|
I’d rather rescue myself.
|
|
[ALL:]
|
Someday im gonna find Someone
|
who wants my soul, heart and mind
|
Whos not afraid to show that he loves me
|
Somebody who will understand im happy just the way i am
|
Dont 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
|
|
[CHORUS ?ALL:]
|
I don’t wanna be like Cinderella,
|
Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar,
|
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free (Come and set me free)
|
I don’t wanna be like Snow white waiting
|
For a handsome prince to come and save me
|
on a horse of white
|
Unless somebody's on my side
|
Don’t wanna be
|
No, no, no one else.
|
I’d rather rescue myself.
|
|
[ALL:]
|
I can slay (I can slay) my own dragons. (My own dragons)
|
I can dream my own dreams. (My own dreams)
|
My knight in shining armor (shining armor) is me.
|
So I'm gonna set me free.
|
|
[CHORUS ?ALL:]
|
I don’t wanna be like Cinderella,
|
Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar,
|
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free.
|
I don’t wanna be like someone waiting
|
For a handsome prince to come and save me
|
On a horse of white
|
Unless somebody's on my side
|
|
I don’t wanna be like Cinderella,
|
Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar,
|
Waiting for somebody (oh -Oh) to come and set me free.
|
I don’t wanna be like someone waiting
|
For a handsome prince to come and save me
|
on a horse of white
|
Unless somebody's on my side
|
Don’t wanna depend
|
on, no one else.
|
I’d rather rescue myself.
|
|
I don’t wanna be like Cinderella,
|
Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar,
|
Waiting for somebody (oh -Oh)to come and set me free.
|
I don’t wanna be like someone waiting
|
For a handsome prince to come and save me
|
on a horse of white
|
Unless somebody's on my side
|
Don’t wanna depend
|
on, no one else.
|
I’d rather rescue myself.
