(GALLERIA:)
When I was just a little girl,
My mama used to tuck me into bed,
And she'd read me a story.
(CHANEL:)
It always was about a princess in distress
And how a guy would save her
And end up with the glory.
(DORINDA:)
I'd lie in bed and think about
The person that I wanted to be,
(AQUA:)
Then one day I realized
The fairy tale life wasn't for me.
(CHORUS – ALL:)
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
(Chanel:)
Oh yeah
(Aqua:)
Someday im gonna find someone 
That wants somebody's soul, heart and mind
(All:)
Who's not afraid to show that he loves me 
(Galleria:)
Somebody who will understand I'm happy just the way I am 
Don't need nobody taking care of me
(Dorinda:)
(I will be there)I will be there for him 
Just as strong as he will be there for me 
(Chanel:)
When I give myself then it has got to be an equal thing
(CHORUS – ALL:)
(ALL:)
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.
(CHORUS – ALL:)
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.
