I’m A Big Girl Now

I'm A Big Girl Now - Sammy Kaye

Me and my childhood sweetheart

Have come to the parting of the ways

He still treats me like he did In our baby days

I'm a little bit older And a little bit bolder

Since both of us were three

I'm a little more padded Something new has been added

He oughtta take one good look at me

I'm a big girl now

I wanna be daring like a big girl now

When daddy tells those certain jokes it isn't fair

He tells me I'm too young

And makes me take the air

But I could tell a couple that would curl his hair

I'm a big girl now

I'm a big girl now

I wanna be handled like a big girl now

I'm tired of being babied like a kid of three

I'm tired of having chaperones to follow me

I wanna have some secrets in my diary

I'm a big girl now

I'm a big girl now

I wanna be cuddled like a big girl now

I'm through with going to movies with my Uncle Tim

Through with going to picnics with my old Aunt Min

I wanna go to Mexico with You know him

I'm a big girl now

I'm a big girl now

I wanna be wanted like a big girl now

I'm tired of staying home each evening after dark

Tired of being dynamite without a spark

I wanna learn what fellows do in Central Park

I'm a big girl now
