Stop!
Stop telling me what to do
Don't!
Don't treat me like a child of two
No!
I know that you want what's best
Please!
But mother, please, give it a rest!!!
Stop! Don't! No! Please!
Stop! Don't! No! Please!
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 iust what the older kids did
But lose that laundry list of what you won't allow
'Cause mama, i'm a big girl now
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 hickey, please don't have a cow
'Cause mama, i'm a big girl now
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!
Wo oh oh oh oh
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
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
Wo oh oh oh oh
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
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
(Hey, mama, say mama)
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
Oh Oh Oh
Mama, i'm a big girl now
Hey Hey Hey Hey hey!
Mama, I'm a big girl!
Ooh, such a big, big girl!
I'm a big girl
now!
(Stop! Don't! No! Please!)
Oh oh oh oh oh.
(Stop! Don't! No! Please!)
Oh oh oh oh Please!
(Stop! Don't! No! please!)
Mama, i'm a big girl now!!!
