英文歌词
When I was just a little girl my momma used to tuck¹ me into bed
And she'd read me a story
It always was about a Princess in distress²
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

(Chorus)
I don't wanna be like Cinderella, sitting in a dark old dusty cellar³
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free
I don't wanna 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
Don't want to depend on 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

(Chorus)

I can slay⁴ my own dragons. I can dream my own dreams
My knight⁵ in shining armour⁶ is me. So I'm gonna set me free

(Chorus) (Repeat)
