The Cheetah Girls - Cinderella 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 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

I don't wanna be like someone waiting

For a handsome prince to come and save me

Oh no will survive

Unless somebody's on my side

Don't wanna be

No, no, no one else.

I'd rather rescue myself.

Someday I'm gonna find Someone

Who 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 strong as he will be there for me

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

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 no will survive

Unless somebody's on my side

Don't wanna be

No, no, no one else.

I'd rather rescue myself.

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.

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 no will survive

Unless somebody's on my side
