[Intro: Tal]
Here we go, check it out
[Verse 1: Christina]
When I was just a little girl
My mama 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
[Pre-Chorus: Christina]
I'd lie in bed and think about
The person that I wanted to be
Then one day I realized
The fairytale life wasn't for me
[Chorus: All, Christina]
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody
To come and set me free (no)
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 ridin' side by side
Don't wanna depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself
[Verse 2: Tal, Christina, All]
Uh, yeah, check it out
Someday I'm gonna find someone
Who wants my body, 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)
[Pre-Chorus: Tal]
I will be there for him just
As strong as he will be there for me
Whenever I give myself that
It has got to be an equal seat
[Chorus: All, Tal, Tal and Christina]
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody
To come and set me free (no)
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 ridin' side by side
Don't wanna depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself (no)
[Bridge: Tal and Christina with All, Christina]
I can slay my own dragons
I can dream my own dreams
My knight in shining armor is me
So I'm gonna set me free
[Chorus: All, Tal, Christina, Tal and Gaby]
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark old dusty cellar (no way)
Waiting for somebody (I know)
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 ridin' side by side
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody (yeah, yeah)
To come and set me free (why don't you 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 ridin' side by 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 old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody
To come and set me free (oh-oh-oh-oh)
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 ridin' side by side (hey)
Don't wanna depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself
