Cinderella

I listened to this song while in the car with Xiao Lu er. It was sung by Tata Young. I liked the song immediately. There are times when we are down that we'd want someone to be there to lend a shoulder to lean on. There are times when you're lonely and you'd want a person to hug. There are also times when you'd wish there will be this special someone who will rescue you from predicaments and will simply accept you, flaws and all. But before that someone ultra special comes along, it's important to know you're perfectly able to stand on your own and wield your own sword. So that when he did come, you'll know you need him for real, and not just as a temporary shoulder, bolster or body guard.

"Cinderella"

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

[Chorus]

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 myselfSomeday

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 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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]
