What do you want to be when I grow up
A teacher a nurse or a bumb
I don’t need you to judge what I did
Stop treating me like a kid

If I wanna change my mind without asking you
If I wanna take my time than I’m going to

‘Cause I’m a big girl
I’m a very good girl
Yes I’m a big girl 
And you don’t have to worry ‘bout me this time
Just trust me I’ll be fine
And hey yeah – do you ever think of letting go
And hey yeah – before I lose my mind

Everything I want to do you say no
When I ask you why – cause I told you so
If I wanna tie my shoes without help from you
Guess no one ever sheltered you

And hey yeah
What ya gonna do when I’m not around 
And hey yeah – you can’t make the clock unwind

I keep telling you

I’m a big girl
I’m a very good girl
Yes I’m a big girl 
And you don’t have to worry ‘bout me this time
Just trust me I’ll be fine
And hey yeah – do you ever think of letting go
And hey yeah – before I lose my mind

I’m a big girl 
And you don’t have to worry ‘bout me this time
‘Cause I’ll be fine 
I’m a big girl
And you don’t have to worry ‘bout me this time

‘Cause I’m a big girl
I’m a very good girl
Yes I’m a big girl 
And you don’t have to worry ‘bout me this time
Just trust me I’ll be fine
And hey yeah – do you ever think of letting go
And hey yeah – before I lose my mind

I’m gonna make it on my own
