Songtext:
Verse 1: Webagentur Leverkusen When I was just a little girl My mama used to tuck me into bed And she read me a story It always was about a princess in distress And how a guy would save her And end up with a glory I'd lie in bed and think about The person that I wanted to be Then one day I realized The fairy tale life wasn't for me
Chorus: I don't wanna be like Cinderella Sitting in a dark old 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 Don't wanna be no no no one else I'd rather rescue myself
Verse 2: Someday I'm gonna find someone Who wants somebody's 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 get myself It had got to be an equal thing
Chorus: I don't wanna be like Cinderella Sitting in a dark old 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 Don't wanna be no no no one else I'd rather rescue myself
Bridge: I can slay my own dragons I can dream my own dream My knight in shining armor is me So I'm gonna set me free
Chorus: I don't wanna be like Cinderella Sitting in a dark old 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 (repeat)
