Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now

(Stop) stop telling me what to do
(Don't) don't treat me like a child of two
(Know) 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

Once upon a time, I used to play with childhood toys
But now I'd rather play around with older 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 get 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

Once I used to fidget 'cause I just sat home
But now I'm just like Midget and I gotta get to Rome
So say, arrivederci, toodle-loo and ciao
'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now

Oh, 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)

Whoa, 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 want to give it a try
Mama, I've been in the nest for far too long
So, please give a push, and mama watch me fly, watch me fly
(Show off)

Someday 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, oh-oh
(Mama, I'm a big girl) hey, hey, hey
(Mama oh, I'm a big girl)
(Ooh, 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)

(Go Ricki)
(Go Ricki)
(Go Ricki) (guys)
(Go Ricki)
(Go Ricki)
(Go Ricki)
