Текст песни Cinderella - Live Concert - The Cheetah Girls

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.

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.

I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free (Come and set me free)
I don't wanna 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 wanna be no, no, no one else
I'd rather rescue myself

Oh yeah

Someday im gonna find someone
That 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 give myself then it has got to be an equal thing

I can slay (I can slay) my own dragons. (My own dragons)
I can dream my own dreams. (My own dreams)
My knight in shining armor (shining armor) is me.
So I'm gonna set me free.

I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark, cold, 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
Oh I will survive
Unless somebody's on my side
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody (No) to come and set me free.
I don't wanna 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 wanna be no, no, no one else
I'd rather rescue myself.
