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 wanted to be
Then one day I realized
The fairy tale life wasn’t for me
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 I will survive
Unless somebody's on my side
Don't wanna depend on no one else
I’d rather rescue myself
