Mama, I'm A Big Girl Now ("Hairspray")
(Stop) stop telling me what to do-o
(Don't) don't treat me like a child of two-o
(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'd 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 got my best dancing lessons from you-o
You're the one who taught me how to twist and shout
Because you shout non-stop, and you're so twisted too-o
Oh, oh, oh, oh, 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, 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
Woah, 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'm been in a 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
Woah-oh-oh
Mama, I'm a big girl now
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Mama, I'm a big girl
(Ooo, such a big big girl)
I'm a big girl, now
Stop, don't, no, please (woah, oh, oh, oh)
Stop, don't, no, please (woah, oh, oh, oh)
Stop, don't, no, please
Mama, I'm a big girl now
Go Ricki (Go Ricki, go Ricki)
Guys (Go Ricki, go Ricki)
(Don't) don't treat me like a child of two-o
(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

Stop, don't, no, please
Mama, I'm a big girl now
Go Ricki (Go Ricki, go Ricki)
Guys (Go Ricki, go Ricki)
