when i was just a lil girl

ma momma used to tuck me into bed

n she read me a story

it always was about a princess in distress 

n how a guy would save her n end up

with da glory
 

i'd lie in bed n think about da person that 

i wanted to be

then one day i realized
 
da fairy tale life wasn't for me  

someday im gonna find someone

who wants my soul,heart n mind
 
whos not afraid to show that he loves me
 
somebody who'll understand im happy
 
juz the way i am

dunt need nobody taking care of me

i'll 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 dunt wanna be like Cinderella
 
sittin in a dark old dusty cellar
 
waitin for somebody, to come n set me free
 
i dunt wanna be like Snow White waitin
 
for a handsome prince to come n save me
 
on a horse of white

unless we're ridin side by side

dunt wanna depend on no one else

i'd rather rescue myself"
