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 just what the older kids did But close that laundry list of what you won't allow Cause Mama, I'm a big girl now! Once upon a time I played with childhood toys But now I'd rather play around with older boys So if I get a hickey, please don't have a cow! Cause Mama, I'm a big girl now! Come on, 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 Once I used to fidget cause I just sat home But now I'm just like Gidget and I gotta get to roll So say, Arrivederci! Toodle-oo! 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! Once upon a time I was shy on things 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! Woah-oh-oh-oh! Once upon a time I used to dress up kin But now that I'm a woman, I like bigger men Cause I don't need a Barbie doll to show me how Cause Mama, I'm a big girl now! Mama, you always taught me what was right from wrong And now I just wanna give it a try Mama, I've been in your debt for far too long So please give a push, Mama, watch me fly! Watch me fly! Show off! Someday 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 bow Cause Mama, I'm a big girl now! Woah-oh-oh-oh! Mama, I'm a big girl now! Hey-hey-hey-hey! Mama, I'm a big girl! I'm such a big, big girl! Mama, big girl now! Woah-oh-oh-oh! Please Mama, I'm a big girl now! Go Ricky! Go Ricky! Go Ricky! Go Ricky! Go Ricky! Go Ricky! Go Ricky! Go Ricky! Go Ricky! Go Ricky! Go Ricky! Go Ricky!
