Lyrics, Cara Baca & English Translation
My life was no fairytale
But they called me a name
Do I look like I need a prince?
I'll get rid of all the labels
Do not try to lie to me
I can see it in your eyes
I can live without you
Like you never existed in my life
Oh, I don't need you, I have everything
Oh, I don't want you, I'll make my way
I'm not the kind of girl who needs a man to live
You're gonna see who I am
Keep your hands off me, hand off me
'Cause I'm not your Cinderella
Keep your hands off me, hand off me
'Cause I'm not your Cinderella
Keep your hands off me, hand off me
'Cause I'm not your Cinderella
My past is gone, gonna start it again
So let the villains try mе
I am ready to fight, I won't hesitate
Oops, I'm not sorry
Do not try to tamе me
I have wild in my veins, can't take it anymore
Step back, watch your back 'cause I'm a lion
Oh, I don't need you, I have everything
Oh, I don't want you, I'll make my way
I'm not the kind of girl who needs a man to live
You're gonna see who I am
Keep your hands off me, hand off me
'Cause I'm not your Cinderella
Keep your hands off me, hand off me
'Cause I'm not your Cinderella
Keep your hands off me, hand off me
'Cause I'm not your Cinderella
Now, I feel whole again
Nothing can stop me now
Shining like stars that I have always dream of
Don't look away
Let's see how this story ends
I am the savior here
Watch me, you watch me
I am not your Cinderella
Watch me, you watch me
I am not your Cinderella
Watch me, you watch me
I am not your Cinderella
