When I was just a little girl, My mama used to tuck me into bed, And 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.
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, 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 Don't wanna 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 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 Don't wanna depend on no one else. I’d rather rescue myself.
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.
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 (oh - Oh) 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 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 (oh -Oh)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 Don't wanna depend on no one else. I’d rather rescue myself.
[Verse 1:] Theres a time when we all choose To either quit or follow through To just loose faith Or trust your heart To somehow lead you through the dark You're not the only one who's dreamin' And who needs help to carry on We might get lonely but we're not alone
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus:] Cause we are sisters We stand together We make up one big family though we don't look the same Our spots are different Different colors We make each other stronger That ain't ever gonna change We're cheetah girls cheetah sisters
[Verse 2:] Gotta do what we gotta do Got the brains, got the power and we speak the truth We're from everywhere all around the world So ya best respect the cheetah girls Dancing, singing from our birth Working hard for what we deserve Trying not to break the rules 'Cause mama didn't raise no fools It may seem we're only dreaming And we need help to carry on Its good to know we're not alone
[Chorus:] Cause we are sisters We stand together We make up one big family though we don't look the same Our spots are different Different colors We make each other stronger That ain't ever gonna change Believe it mister We're cheetah girls cheetah sisters
[Bridge:] Someone's always there behind To catch us if we fall
[Chorus:] Cause we are sisters We stand together We make up one big family though we don't look the same Our spots are different Different colors We make each other stronger That ain't ever gonna change
Believe it mister We're cheetah girls cheetah sisters
