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!!

 (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)
