Cinderella Lyrics - The Cheetah Girls [ep] - 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 her glory 

I'd lie in bed and think about the person 

That I wanted to be 

Then one day I realized that fairy tale life wasn't for me 

I don't want to be like Cinderella 

Sittin' in a dark cold dusty cellar 

Waitin' for somebody to come and set me free 

I don't want to 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 want to be no no no one else 

I'd rather rescue myself 

Someday I'm gonna find someone that 

Wants me for my soul, heart, and mind 

Whose 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 get myself ready it has got to be an equally 

I don't want to be like Cinderella 

Sittin' in a dark cold dusty cellar 

Waitin' for somebody to come and set me free 

I don't want to 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 want to be no no no one else 

I'd rather rescue myself 

I can slay my own dragon 

I can dream my own dreams 

My knight in shining armor is me 

So I'm gonna set me free, yeah 

I don't want to be like Cinderella 

Sittin' in a dark cold dusty cellar 

Waitin' for somebody to come and set me free 

I don't want to 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 want to be like Cinderella 

Sittin' in a dark cold dusty cellar 

Waitin' for somebody to come and set me free, no 

I don't want to 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 want to be no no no one else 

I'd rather rescue myself 

Don't want to be no no no one else I'd rather rescue myself!
