Cinderella [Live] Lyrics
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 her glory
I'd lie in bed and think about the person that I wanted to be
Then one day I realized that fairy tale life wasn't for me
I don't want to be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark cold dusty cellar
Waitin' for somebody to come and set me free
I don't want to be like someone waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
Oh I will survive
Unless somebody's on my side
Don't want to be no no no one else
I'd rather rescue myself
Someday I'm gonna find someone that wants me for my soul heart and mind
Whose 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 for him just as strong as he will be there for me
When I get myself ready it has got to be an equally
I don't want to be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark cold dusty cellar
Waitin' for somebody to come and set me free
I don't want to be like someone waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
Oh I will survive
Unless somebody's on my side
Don't want to be no no no one else
I'd rather rescue myself
I can slay my own dragon
I can dream my own dreams
My knight in shining armor is me
So I'm gonna set me free, yeah
I don't want to be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark cold dusty cellar
Waitin' for somebody to come and set me free
I don't want to be like someone waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
Oh I will survive
Unless somebody's on my side
I don't want to be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark cold dusty cellar
Waitin' for somebody to come and set me free, no
I don't want to be like someone waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
Oh I will survive
Unless somebody's on my side
Don't want to be no no no one else
I'd rather rescue myself
Don't want to be no no no one else I'd rather rescue myself!
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 her glory
I'd lie in bed and think about the person that I wanted to be
Then one day I realized that fairy tale life wasn't for me
Sittin' in a dark cold dusty cellar
Waitin' for somebody to come and set me free
I don't want to be like someone waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
Oh I will survive
Unless somebody's on my side
I'd rather rescue myself
Whose 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
When I get myself ready it has got to be an equally
Sittin' in a dark cold dusty cellar
Waitin' for somebody to come and set me free
I don't want to be like someone waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
Oh I will survive
Unless somebody's on my side
I'd rather rescue myself
I can dream my own dreams
My knight in shining armor is me
I don't want to be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark cold dusty cellar
Waitin' for somebody to come and set me free
I don't want to be like someone waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
Oh I will survive
Unless somebody's on my side
Sittin' in a dark cold dusty cellar
Waitin' for somebody to come and set me free, no
I don't want to be like someone waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
Oh I will survive
Unless somebody's on my side
I'd rather rescue myself
