Cinderella

(album: The Cheetah Girls - 2003)

[Galleria (Chanel):]
When I was just a little girl, my mama used to tuck me into bed
Then, 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 the glory)

[Dorinda (Aqua):]
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, oh)

[The Cheetah Girls (Chanel):]
I don't wanna be like Cinderella (Oh, no)
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
On, I will survive
Unless somebody's on my side
Don't wanna depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself

[Dorinda (Galleria) {The Cheetah Girls}:]
Someday, I'm gonna find someone
That wants me, body, 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) {The way I am}
(Don't need nobody taking care of me)

[Aqua (Chanel) {The Cheetah Girls}:]
{I will be there}
I will be there for him just as strong as he will be there for me
(When I give myself that, it has got to be an equal thing)

[The Cheetah Girls (Chanel):]
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar (Oh, no)
Waiting for somebody (Somebody) to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like someone waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me (Save me)
On, I will survive
Unless somebody's on my side
Don't wanna depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself

[The Cheetah Girls {Chanel}:]
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 (Is me)
{So, I'm gonna set me free, yeah}

[The Cheetah Girls (Galleria):]
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 on my side

I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody
To come and set me free (No)
I don't wanna be like someone waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On, I will survive
Unless somebody's on my side
Don't wanna depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself
