when i was just a little girl
當我還是個小女孩時
my momma used to tuck me into bed
媽媽總是喜歡把我塞進床裡
and she'd read me a story
然後 為我講個故事
it always was about a princess in distress
總是關於一個不幸的公主
and how a guy would save her and end up with the glory
然後一個王子如何英雄就美,故事唯美落幕
i'd lie in bed and think about the person that i want to be
我就躺在床上,夢想我會成為那個人
then one day i realized the fairy tale life wasn't for me
終於有一天我明白,那不是屬於我的童話
i don't wanna be like cinderella
我不想像灰姑娘一樣
sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
坐在黑暗髒亂的地窖裡
waiting for somebody, to come and set me free
等待著一個人來解救我
i don't wanna be like snow white waiting
我也不想像白雪公主那樣等待
for a handsome prince to come and save me on a horse of white,
等待一個英俊的白馬王子來救我
unless we're riding side by side
我們比翼雙飛
don't want to depend on no one else
不想奢望成為別人
i'd rather rescue myself
只希望可以自我救贖
someday i'm gonna find someone who wants my soul, heart, and mind
總有天我會找到一個人,願擁有我的靈魂,我的心,我的思想
who's not afraid to show that he loves me
他並不害怕將他對我的愛公之於眾
somebody who will understand i'm happy just the way i am
他會理解,我就愛這樣的我
don't need nobody taking care of me
不需要別人的呵護
i will be there for him just as strong as he will be there for me
我要像他一樣強壯,就像他做為我付出的那樣
when i give myself then it has to got to be, an equal thing
我們的付出彼此相等
[chorus]
i can slay, my own dragons
我會降伏我的猛獸
i can dream, my own dreams
我可以夢我所夢
my knight in shining armour is me
我憧憬的騎士就是我自己
so i'm gonna set me free
我將解救我自己
