stop...

stop telling me what to do-o

don't...

don't treat me like a child of two-o

no...

I know that you want what's best

please...

but mother please....give it a rest!

(3x)

stop, don't, no!

please...

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 used to play with 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
(3x)
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 (2x)

(stop don't no please)

mama, I'm a big girl now!
