Cinderella
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 lie in bed and think about
The person that I want 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 sould, 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 started
It had 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 dream
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
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
