Lyrics

[Intro]

Stop telling me what to do (Stop!)

Don't treat me like a child of two (Don't!)

I know that you want what's best (No!)

But Mother, please, give it a rest (Please)

[Chorus]

Stop, don't, no, please

Stop, don't, no, please

Stop, don't, no, please

Mama, I'm a big girl now

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

Once upon a time I played 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

[Verse 3]

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, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 4]

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

[Chorus]

Whoa-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

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

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

[Bridge]

Ma, you always taught me what was right from wrong

And now I just wanna 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

[Verse 7]

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, whoa-oh-oh

Mama, I'm a big girl now, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Mama, I'm a big girl

Oh, such a big, big girl

I'm a big girl now

[Chorus]

Stop, don't, no, please

Stop, don't, no, please

Stop, don't, no, please

Mama, I'm a big girl now
