- VERSE:
- Me and my childhood sweetheart
- Have come to the parting of the ways
- He still treats me like he did In our baby days.
- I'm a little bit older And a little bit bolder
- Since both of us were three.
- I'm a little more padded Something new has been added
- He oughtta take one good look at me ....
- CHORUS:
- I'm a big girl now
- I wanna be daring like a big girl now
- When daddy tells those certain jokes it isn't fair
- He tells me I'm too young and makes me take the air
- But I could tell a couple that would curl his hair
- I'm a big girl now.
-
- I'm a big girl now
- I wanna be handled like a big girl now
- I'm tired of being babied like a kid of three
- I'm tired of having chaperones to follow me
- I wanna have some secrets in my diary
- I'm a big girl now
-
- I'm a big girl now
- I wanna be cuddled like a big girl now
- I'm through with going to movies with my Uncle Tim
- Through with going to picnics with my old Aunt Min
- I wanna go to Mexico with ... you know him
- I'm a big girl now
-
- I'm a big girl now
- I wanna be wanted like a big girl now
- I'm tired of staying home each evening after dark
- Tired of being dynamite without a spark
- I wanna learn what fellows do in Central Park
- I'm a big girl now
