Cheetah Girls, The - Cinderella Lyrics
[GALLERIA:]
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.
[DORINDA:]
I'd lie in bed
And think about
The person that I wanted to be,
[AQUA:]
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 be no, no, no one else.
I’d rather rescue myself.
[ALL:]
Someday I'm gonna find Someone
That wants somebody's 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) 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]
[ALL:]
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.
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
I don’t wanna be like Cinderella,
Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar,
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free, no.
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 be no, no, no one else.
I’d rather rescue myself.

Cheetah Girls, The Cinderella Comments
Anyone listen to Plays version of the song and realize that their chorus makes more sense than this one does?
Disney Has ALWAYS Brung The RnB Music From " Life Size, To Tinkerbell(Secret Of The Wings), To The Cheetah Girls"
I hope I have a daughter one day so I can show her this song
Cheetahgirls u rock I love u
Somebody 2020?
My childhood brought me here.🤷♀️
I really thought play sang it better but then I came back to listen to the cheetah girls.. and I take it back
Wtf! First time I listened in more than a decade and I still remember the lyrics! Wow the nostalgia is real. The
Anyone else in 2020 ? 🙋🏻♀️
I LOVED the cheetah girls’ outfits so much as a kid
They did it better than the original group😭💀
I love this song
Just now finding out this was originally written by a group named Play. I like both versions though! I hope they gave them their credit & percentage for using their song!
Why I still feel like Cinderella an I wanna be a cheetah girl lol
Not A Fan Of The Cheetah Girls But Man The Beat On This Song Was Fire.
I don’t know why I don’t remember it sounding like this but I do remember
I thought this song, this video and their outfits was the shiz in 4th grade 🤣
Did anybody come here after watching the movie LOL
fucking fire
I was Raven & Chanel in my head when I was hella young trying to make a Cheetah girl group 😫😂❤️
Duno this song but there better at it then play
Eek I wish they used Aurora as a reference instead of poor Cinderelly, I love this song tho
Who was the leader of this group? 🤷🏽♂️
The Bus001 Raven
I love this
Sorry to i5 and play but the cheetah girls demolished y’all in this version
See y’all in the ‘Strut’ comments 👉🏾
Adrienne snitched on the cheetah girls
I love cheetah girls ❤
2019 from Angola ☺👍
I'm here because of Adrienne
Still better than play!!! Love this then and NOW!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰😭😭😭
*Opinion*
Play Version- This is giving me Britney Spears, Mandy Moore, Pop Super Star vibes. I feel like I’m performing in a corset, jeans, glitter get up doing a concert at a sold out arena show.
Cheetah Girls Version- I am on my very own stage. The head diva in charge and taking control. Celine Dion, Mariah Carey vibes. I can strike a fierce pose and give a performance darling. Very posh. Elegant and fierce all in one.
I don’t think there’s a “better” version. They stand on their own very well. Listen to the actual audio version of each song, not the live performance. You’ll get a totally different vibe from each. Also in the year 2003, did anybody knew Play?? I was a child in elementary so I didn’t like know pop culture and watched mtv teen stuff. We’re they like well know at the time? I mean duh they were, they toured with Destiny’s Child but I didn’t even know one song back then from the radio even. Did any teen/young adult growing up at that time knew them?

Back when Disney made good movies and actually had diversity in their shies and movies
So what if the song was a cover? It’s still better than the original.
Who’s here after watching the original version by Play after Adrienne said it was not a cheetah girls song first on The Real?
PLAY could neverrrr.. cheetah girls really did that 💛
This is the perfect song for young girls who are feminazi’s
Tata young or the Cheetah girls is the original?
Lol I had forgotten about this song until I just randomly saw the play version and the comments were talking about this version
I miss the old Disney 😭
They sound much better than play Jesus Christ
Raven and Adrienne was Cheetahlicious on The Masked Singer
Galleria featuring the cheetah girls
It’s the Flamingo🦩😂
Whose watching this is December 2019
Had to wash my ears after hearing the original version. It definitely doesn’t beat this.
Lol I remember being a gay 8 year old being like THATS RIGHT!! I DONT NEED NO ONE SAVING ME!!!
Who else just found out their whole childhood was a lie
👇🏿🤦🏾♂️
Play could never.😂👋🏽
I’m here because I just got done watching the real 😂 and after comparing the two they both sound good but this version gave me more soul and harmonization
Y is the music faster than there mouths or that just me reloaded if it is
My 3 month old loves this song. Puts her to sleep lol
can we get a cheetah girls reboot? I’m down haha
does anyone watch the masked singer
Whose here after watching Play then i5?
Anyone here, know this was i5’s song before The Real said something.
This is still the superior version
Still listening to this song in 2019 and it came out when I was 9! 😜
Best cover of this song
I’m 22 and this was stuck in my head for no reason so here i am
I can easily recognized Ade's voice in the chorus and backgrounds.
I use to have the biggest crush on raven
Antonio Arnett ditto that
Im old and this was back in the day when i was 10 and was in love with Raven Symone. Till this day she was my only celebrity crush
Cheetah girls made i5 sound bad
1:40 does anyone else hear “equal pay” ? 😂
its "equal thing" i think lol but equal pay works too !!
Cheetahs 4 Life
Who's here after The Real and listens to Play's version of the song?
what happened on the Real
@Maeve Mallory Adrienne basically shared that the song originally belonged to a group called play.
@Rachel oh yea i knew that
@Rachel it actually belonged to I5 and Play covered it
Davis funny u mentioned that to me I saw video comparing the three
Flamingo from the real send me here lol
The Flamingo brought me here.
Best breakup song
Who knows Play before Adrienne mentioned it? Knew them when they collab with one of the guys from Dreamstreet
Here After Watching The Real when Adrienne said this song is originally for a girl group named Play
Yes,play wasn't much popular I early 2000s
Well, the song belonged to i5 ,another girl group first, then play, then Cheetah girls.
My childhood is a lie lol Who is Play? Nah, this is their song 😂
Play is a very old early 2000s girl group from another country that sang here in the states
@V remember play wasnt that popular and wasnt much on tv like that.
Well the song belonged to girl group i5 first, then play, then cheetah girls. There's your fun fact.
who came here because of the mcclain sisters... no one ... ok
After I watched the real I went and checked Play’s version and there I found out that it wasn’t their original song either. The group i5 released it first in 2001. 😅
So this really wasn’t their song? I feel like a fool 😭
Ok everyone this is not Play's orginal song. I love then but it is from a group called i5.
Me and sister always argued over being “chuchi” but she knew I was 👸🏾😂
Here because Adrienne talked about it on The Real🤣🤣🤣
I remember when I asked my mom to buy me a cheetah print skirt just because of this song 😂
Finding out that Whitney Houston produced this makes so much sense now... icons crafting iconic content
So this was a cover?? They got it from PLAY who covered it from i5. 🤯
Who’s here from the real after Adrienne said this wasn’t their song

Better than the Play!
Who else came from The Real after finding out this is not a Cheetah Girls original song? 😭 It’s by another girl group called Play.
Play covered it. The orginal song is from a group called i5.
Can’t believe this isn’t an original cheetahs girls song :(
Yeah. I still like this version better though
First belonged to i5, then play, then cheetah girls
The Real brought me here.
Came here after hearing it on the real
Kielys voice really fucked up the song lmao
who is here from the real
Who’s here from The Real after Adrienne revealed it wasn’t their song?? 🙋🏼♂️
Me!!! This has always been my favorite Cheetah Girl Song. I just listened to the other versions. This is definitely the best version!!!
Ki'Aaron Temple I was only allowed to listen to radio Disney growing up because I had really strict parents that’s how I heard this song lol
Shout out to i5!
THE GROUP "PLAY" THE ORIGINAL SINGERS OF THIS SONG SOUND MUCH BETTER!!. THE GROUPS NAME IS
PLAY (CINDERELLA) GIVE THEM A LISTEN...
How does Loni love don't know this song?😭
