Mama, I'm A Big Girl Now (Live)

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 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 iust 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
Woh - Oh - Oh
Mama, i'm a big girl now
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!
Stop! Don't! No! Please!
Stop! Don't! No! please!

Mama, i'm a big girl now!
