The Cheetah Girls - Cinderella-The Real 1 Lyrics

When I was just a little girl

My momma 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



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

Sittin' in a dark cold dusty cellar

Waiting for somebody, 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 riding side by side

Don't want to depend on no one else

I'd rather rescue myself



Someday I'm gonna find someone that 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 for him just as long as he, will be there for me



When I give myself then it has got to be, an equal thing



[Chorus]



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

Yeah



I don't wanna be like Cinderella

Sittin' in a dark cold dusty cellar

Waiting for somebody, 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 riding side by side



I don't wanna be like Cinderella

Sittin' in a dark cold dusty cellar

Waiting for somebody, 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 riding side by side



[Chorus]
