Don’t Call Me Cinderella
Never wanted to live the fancy life or
be a billionaire over night,
never wanted to be a beauty queen with a perfect life.
I sure as hell never wanted to be someone’s bronzed trophy wife that didn’t do nothing, but stood there and smiled while looking pretty meanwhile living a lie.
All I ever wanted in life was to be happy;
I want my dreams to someday come true and blossom into something beautiful.
I want to marry a man who loves me for me and they will always be with me no matter what happens, I want a big family with some kids and I want a house by the sea.
So I guess you can say I want the simple life;
I won’t wait just for anyone and won’t settle for anything for I’m my own woman and I’m a grown woman who works for hers, I don’t need anybody to depend on so why start now?.
I’m never ever going to sit in the dark and wait for someone to come and rescue me,
I’ll never be the type that will wish and pray for a perfect fairy tale ending;
I will never ever be a Cinderella,
Don’t call me Cinderella,
won’t ever be me no sir not me,
Don’t call me Cinderella,
Never needed no fella so don’t call me Cinderella.
If you want to leave good, I won’t beg you to stay.
If you make me feel like I’m trapped in a cage with no one there to set me free then I’ll find a way to set myself free, and if you only want me for one thing then how can I stay with someone like you?
You can tell me I’m mean and I’m heartless, but the reality is you don’t understand me so why should I let you in if you won’t even try to?.
I love hard and I give my heart to those that deserve it, but if I feel you’re not worth it I’ll have no problem packing up my bags and go so don’t expect me to ever be anyone’s damsel in distress needing anyone to save her because that will never be me.
Got my own mind and feel things the way I want to feel them so don’t tell me how I should be.
I’m never ever going to sit in the dark and wait for someone to come and rescue me,
I’ll never be the type that will wish and pray for a perfect fairy tale ending;
I will never ever be a Cinderella,
Don’t call me Cinderella,
Won’t ever be me no sir not me,
Don’t call me Cinderella,
Never needed no fella so don’t call me Cinderella.

This is empowering for all women to know that they shouldn't let themselves be under the control of a man.
Then again Cinderella left an abusive stepmother to be with a prince who would treat her like a Queen
In defense of Cinderella
I can't help but to think that Cinderella was not as passive as one might think
She made her own luck by going to the ball
And that was the beginning for her to be able to have an opportunity of living a new life
Okay
The Fairy Godmother did help but her dropping the glass shoe
Leaving it behind for the prince to go on a search for her throughout the kingdom
I just got carried away with this fairytale
I get and understand the point you made it's a good reminder for people to keep in mind
