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
C majorC
Please!
But mother, please, give it a rest!!!

Mama. I'm a big girl now!
FF
Once upon a time when i was just a kid
DmDm
You never let me do iust what the older kids did
A#A#
But lose that laundry list of what you won't allow
C majorC C7C7 FF C majorC
'Cause mama, i'm a big girl now
FF
Once upon a time i used to play with toys
DmDm
But now i'd rather play around with teenage boys
A#A#
So, if i get a hickey, please don't have a cow
C majorC C7C7 FF FF
'Cause mama, i'm a big girl now
A#A#
Ma, i gotta tell you that without a doubt
FF
I get my best dancing lessons from you
A#A#
You're the one who taught me how to "twist and shout"
G+G Am/GAm/G
Because you shout non stop
G+G Am/GAm/G G+G DmDm C majorC DmDm C majorC
And you're so twisted too!
Wo oh oh oh oh
FF
Once I used to fidget
'Cause I just sat home
DmDm
But now I'm just like Gidget
And I gotta get to Rome!
A#A#
So say, arrivederci!
Toodle loo!
And ciao!

Once upon a time I was a shy young thing
D#mD#m F#7F#7
Could barely walk and talk so much as dance and sing
BB
But let me hit that stage, I wanna take my bow
C#C# C#7C#7 F#F#
'Cause mama, i'm a big girl now
Wo oh oh oh oh
F#F#
Once upon a time i used to dress up 'ken'
D#mD#m
But now that i'm a woman, i like bigger men
BB
And i don't need a barbie doll to show me how
C#C# C#7C#7 F#F# F#F# A#m7/G# F#7/A#
'Cause mama, i'm a big girl now
BB
Ma, you always taught me what was right from wrong
F#F#
And now I just wanna give it a try
BB
Mama, I've been in the nest for far too long
G#G# A#m/G# G#G# A#m/G# G#/C#
So please give a push and mama
D#mD#m C#C# D#mD#m C#C#
Watch me fly
