The Cheetah Girls Cinderella
[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.
