When I was just a little girl  my mama 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
endin' 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
Sittin' in a dark cold, dusty cellar
Waitin' for somebody to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow
White waitin'
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white (unless we're riding side by side)
Don't wanna 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 takin' care of me
I will be there for him just as strong as he will be there for me
When I get myself then it has 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)
