Cinderella lyrics

[GALLERIA:]

When I was just a little girl,

My mama used to tuck me into bed,

And she'd read me a story.

[CHANEL:]

It always was about a princess in distress

And how a guy would save her

And end up with the glory.

[DORINDA:]

I'd lie in bed

And think about

The person that I wanted to be,

[AQUA:]

Then one day I realized

The fairy tale life wasn’t for me.

[CHORUS – ALL:]

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.

[ALL:]

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)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

[CHORUS – ALL]

[ALL:]

I can slay (I can slay) my own dragons. (My own dragons)

I can dream my own dreams. (My own dreams)

My knight in shining armor (shining armor) is me.

So I'm gonna set me free.

I don’t wanna be like Cinderella,

Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar,

Waiting for somebody to 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

I don’t wanna be like Cinderella,

Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar,

Waiting for somebody (oh - Oh) to 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.

I don’t wanna be like Cinderella,

Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar,

Waiting for somebody (oh -Oh)to 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.
