Sammy Kaye - I'm a Big Girl Now Lyrics

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 want to 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 want to 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 want to have some secrets in my diary
I'm a big girl now
I'm a big girl now
I want to 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 want to go to Mexico with ... you know him
I'm a big girl now
I'm a big girl now
I want to 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 want to learn what fellows do in Central Park
I'm a big girl now

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 want to 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 want to 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 want to have some secrets in my diary
I'm a big girl now
I'm a big girl now
I want to 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 want to go to Mexico with ... you know him
I'm a big girl now
I'm a big girl now
I want to 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 want to learn what fellows do in Central Park
I'm a big girl now
