When I was just a little girl
  My momma 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
  On a horse of white,
  unless we're riding side by side
  Don't wanna be 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
  
  (and i will)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 armour, is me
  So I'm gonna set me free
  
  [Chorus x3]
