I think I'm able to decide now
What is right now
For you and me
There is no hesitation inside now
You'll be my bride now
Darling you'll see

My mum and dad they just won't set me free
But it's time they understand

I'm a big boy now
Big boy now
And I ain't gonna listen to my mummy and daddy
Gonna leave the house, so you better get ready
Big boy now
Big boy now
And I ain't gonna listen to my mummy and daddy
Gonna leave the house, so you better get ready

How 'bout a garden filled with kiddies
We make some pretties
What do you say
It doesn't matter what my dad says
I'm feeling restless
Let's move away

My mum and dad they just won't set me free
But it's time they understand

I'm a big boy now (Big boy now)
Big boy now (Aaaaah)
And I ain't gonna listen to my mummy and daddy
Gonna leave the house, so you better get ready
Big boy now (Big boy now)
Big boy now (Aaaaah)
And I ain't gonna listen to my mummy and daddy
Gonna leave the house, so you better get ready

My mum and dad they just won't set me free
But it's time they understand

I'm a big boy now (Big boy now)
Big boy now (Aaaaah)
And I ain't gonna listen to my mummy and daddy
Gonna leave the house, so you better get ready
Big boy now (Big boy now)
Big boy now (Aaaaah)
And I ain't gonna listen to my mummy and daddy
Gonna leave the house, so you better get ready

Big boy now (Big boy now)
Big boy now (Aaaaah)
And I ain't gonna listen to my mummy and daddy
Gonna leave the house, so you better get ready
Big boy now (Big boy now)
Big boy now (Aaaaah)
And I ain't gonna listen to my mummy and daddy
Gonna leave the house, so you better get ready…
