You're a Big Girl Now

Our conversation was short and sweet

It nearly swept me off my feet

And I'm back in the rain, oh

And you are on dry land

You made it there somehow

You're a big girl now

Bird on the horizon, sittin' on a fence

He's singin' his song for me at his own expense

And I'm just like that bird, oh

Singin' just for you

I hope that you can hear

Hear me singin' through these tears

Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast

Oh, but what a shame that all we've shared can't last

I can change, I swear, oh

See what you can do

I can make it through

You can make it, too

Love is so simple, to quote a phrase

You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days

Oh, I know where I can find you, oh

In somebody's room

It's a price I have to pay

You're a big girl all the way

A change in the weather is known to be extreme

But what's the sense of changing horses in midstream?

I'm going out of my mind, oh

With a pain that stops and starts

Like a corkscrew to my heart

Ever since we've been apart
