Stop telling me what to do
Don't treat me like a child of two
I know that you want what's best
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 play 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
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
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
Oh
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 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
Woah 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
Woo
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
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 vow
'Cause mama I'm a big girl now
Wow
Mama I'm a big girl now hey
Mama I'm a 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
