It's time to put down your easy bake oven

And all your other little girl things

Big girls don't play with toys

At least that's what it says in this magazine



She can't say why

She's ready to try and become what she sees around her

Now maturity has found her

All the big kids say

Girl you need to change your ways

And she finds that ok, she's a big girl now



Confusion rules a little girl's mind

When she tries to do those older girl things

Big girls make it look so easy

To catch the boys that always tease



She'll get hers some day

If only she can find her way

But she's got no time today

She's a big girl now



Rejection makes her feel so sad

Just like a little girl inside

She'll put on her big girl make-up

But it just accents the tears she can't hide



She can't say why

She wanted to trader her precious little girl dimples

For PMS, cigarettes, and pimples

She's searching for a way to be little girl someday

But she can't find a way

Because she's a big girl now
