When I was just a little girl
My momma used to tuck me into bed
and she 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
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
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
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)
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
I can slay my own dragon
I can dream my own dreams
My knight in shining armour is me
So I'm gonna set me free

My momma used to tuck me into bed 媽媽總是喜歡把我塞進床里
and she read me a story 然后 為我講個故事
It always was about a Princess in distress 總是關(guān)于一個不幸的公主
And how a guy would save her and end up with the glory然后一個王子如何英雄就美,故事唯美落幕
I'd lie in bed and think about the person that I wanted to be我就躺在床上,夢想我會成為那個人
Then one day I realized the fairy tale life wasn't for me 終于有一天我明白,那不是屬于我的童話
I don't wanna be like Cinderella 我不想像灰姑娘一樣
Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar 坐在黑暗臟亂的地窖里

I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting 我也不想像白雪公主那樣等待
For a handsome prince to come and save me On a horse of white 等待一個英俊的白馬王子來救我
unless we're riding side by side 我們比翼雙飛
Don't want to depend on no-one else 不想奢望成為別人
I'd rather rescue myself 只希望可以自我救贖
Someday I'm gonna find someone who wants my soul heart and mind 總有天我會找到一個人,愿擁有我的靈魂,我的心,我的思想

Don't need nobody taking care of me 不需要別人的呵護
(I will be there)
