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
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 want to 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 taking care of me
I will be there
