Muppets - Disney's Cheetah Girls Cinderella Lyrics

when i was just a little girl
my momma 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 the glory

i lie in bed and think about the person that i wanted to be
then one day i realized the fairy tale life wasnt for me

(chorus)
i dont want to be like cinderella
sitting in a dark cold dusty cellar
waiting for somebody to come and set me free
i dont want to 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

dont want to depend on no one else
i'd rather rescue myself

someday im gonna find someone
who wants my soul, heart, and mind
who's 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 get myself that it has got to be an equal thing

(chorus)
i dont want to be like cinderella
sitting in a dark cold dusty cellar
waiting for somebody to come and set me free
i dont want to 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

dont want to depend on no one else
i'd rather rescue myself, rescue myself, rescue myself

i can slay my own dragons
i can dream my own dreams
my knight and shinning armor is me
so im gonna set me free

(chorus)
i dont want to be like cinderella
sitting in a dark cold dusty cellar
waiting for somebody to come and set me free
i dont want to 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(2x)

dont want to depend on no one else
i'd rather rescue myself

(chorus)
i dont want to be like cinderella
sitting in a dark cold dusty cellar
waiting for somebody to come and set me free
i dont want to 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

dont want to depend on no one else
i'd rather rescue myself
