Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now

Don't contradict me

Don't disobey me

Don't even think about going to that audition

Please

No

Mother

Stop

Stop telling me what to do

Don't

Don't treat me like a child of two

No

I know that you want what's best

Please

But Mother, please give it a rest!

Stop, don't, no

Please

Stop, don't, no

Please

Stop, don't, no

Please

Mama, I'm a big girl now

Once upon a time when I was just a kid

You never let me do just what the older kids did

But lose that laundry list of what you won't allow

'Cause Mama, I'm a big girl now (Oh, Tracy!)

Once upon a time I used to play with toys

But now I'd rather play around with teenage boys

So if I get a hickey please don't have a cow

'Cause Mama, I'm a big girl now

Ma, I gotta tell you that without a doubt

I got my best dancing lessons from you

You're the one who taught me how to twist and shout

Because you shout non-stop, and you're so twisted too

Oh

Once I used to fidget 'cause I just sat home

But now I'm just like Gidget, and I gotta get to Rome

So say arrivederci, toodle-loo, and ciao!

'Cause Mama, I'm a big girl now

Oh

Stop, don't, no

Please

Stop, don't, no

Please

Stop, don't, no

Please

Mama, I'm a big girl now (Hey Mama, say Mama)

Once upon a time I was a shy young thing

Could barely walk and talk so much as dance and sing

But let me hit that stage, I wanna take my bow

'Cause Mama, I'm a big girl now

Oh

Once upon a time I used to dress up Ken

But now that I'm a woman, I like bigger men

And I don't need a Barbie doll to show me how

'Cause Mama, I'm a big girl now

Ma, you always taught me what was right from wrong

And now I just wanna give it a try

Mama, I been in the nest for far too long

So please give a push, and Mama, watch me fly

Watch me fly (Hey Mama, say Mama)

One day, I will meet a man you won't condemn

And we will have some kids and you can torture them

But let me be a star before I take that vow

'Cause Mama, I'm a big girl now

Oh

Mama, I'm a big girl now

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Mama, I'm a big girl

Woo, such a big, big girl

I'm a big girl now (Stop, don't, no, please)

Stop, don't, no

Please

Stop, don't, no

Please

Mama, I'm a big girl now
