| 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
|
| 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 chaperoned 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 |
