When I was just a little girl
My momma 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
and end up with the glory
Id lie in bed and think about the person that
I wanted to be
Then one day I realized the fairy tale life
wasnt for me
I dont wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody
to come and set me free
I dont wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white
unless were riding side by side
Dont want to depend on no-one else
Id rather rescue myself
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
I can slay
my own dragon
I can dream
my own dreams
My knight in shining armour
is me
So Im gonna set me free
