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

(Oh Tracy )

Once upon a time i played with

Childhood toys

But now i'd rather play around with

Teenage boys

So if I get a hicky 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 yo-ou

You're the one who taught me how

To twist and shout

Because you shout non-stop

And you're so twisted to-o

Ooooo

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 arrividicci toodle-loo and ciao

Cause mama I'm a big girl now

Oooo

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

OOOOO

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

OOOOO

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 to long

So please give a push and mama

Watch me fly

Watch me fly

One day 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

OOO

Mama I'm a big girl now

Hey ya ya ya yay

Mama

I'm a big girl

Oo such a big big girl

I'm a big girl

Now

Oooo

Please

Mama I'm a big girl now
