Cinderella - A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes - Cinderella lyrics

When I was just a little girl My Mama used to tuck me into bed And she read me a story It always was about a prince, a cinder's dress And how a guy would save her And end up with the glory I'd lie and I'd think about the person that I want to be Though 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 Waitin' for somebody To come and set me free I don't wanna be like Snow White waitin' For a handsome prince to come and save me On a horse of white Unless we're ridin' side by 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 he loves me Somebody who will understand I'm happy just the way I am Don't need nobody takin' care of me I will be there for him Just as long as he Will be there for me When I get myself steady It's got to be An equal thing I don't wanna be like Cinderella Sittin' in a dark, old, dusty cellar Waitin' for somebody To come and set me free I don't wanna be like Snow White waitin' For a handsome prince to come and save me On a horse of white Unless we're ridin' side by side Don't wanna depend on no one else 'Cause I'd rather rescue myself I can slay my own dragons I can dream my own dreams My knight in shining armor is me So i'm gonna set me free I don't wanna be like Cinderella Sittin' in a dark, old, dusty cellar Waitin' for somebody To come and set me free I don't wanna be like Snow White waitin' For a handsome prince to come and save me On a horse of white Unless we're ridin' side by side Don't wanna depend on no one else 'Cause I'd rather rescue myself
