Lyrics, Romanization & 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
