The Cheetah Girls Cinderella lyrics

[Gabriella:]
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 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:]
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
On I will survive, unless somebody's by my side
Don't wanna depend on no one else, I'd rather rescue myself

[Dorinda:]
Someday I'm gonna find someone who wants somebody's soul, heart, and mind
(Who's not afraid to show that he loves me)

[Gabriella:]
Somebody who can understand I'm happy just the way I am
(Don't need nobody taking care of me...I will be there)

[Aqua:]
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:]
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
On I will survive, unless somebody's by my side
Don't wanna depend on no one else, I'd rather rescue myself

[Bridge:]
I can slay (I can slay) my own dragons (my own dragons)
I can dream (Dream, Dream) my own dreams (my own dreams)
My knight in shining armor (shining armor) is me

[Chanel:]
So I'm gonna set me free

[Chorus:]
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
On I will survive, unless somebody's by my side
Don't wanna depend on no one else, I'd rather rescue myself

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
On I will survive, unless somebody's by my side
Don't wanna depend on no one else, I'd rather rescue myself
