[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 a horse of white
Unless somebody's on my side
Don’t wanna be
No, no, no one else.
I’d rather rescue myself.

[ALL:]
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

[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 Snow white waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
on a horse of white
Unless somebody's on my side
Don’t wanna be
No, no, no one else.
I’d rather rescue myself.

[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.

[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.
I don’t wanna be like someone waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white
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 a horse of white
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 a horse of white
Unless somebody's on my side
Don’t wanna depend
on, no one else.
I’d rather rescue myself.
