The Cheetah Girls - Cinderella [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Galleria & Chanel]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1: Dorinda & Aqua]
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: All]
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

[Verse 2: Dorinda (All) & Galleria]
Someday I'm gonna find someone
That wants me body, 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

[Pre-Chorus 2: Aqua & Chanel]
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: All]
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

[Bridge: All & Chanel]
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

[Chorus: All]
I don’t wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody
To come and set me free (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

[Chorus: All]
I don’t wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody
To come and set me free (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
