lyrics
You’re a big girl now
With a big girl’s needs
And a big girl’s dreams and promises
Why don’t you accept yourself?
Accept your desires
Meet your needs
Deny your problems
And don’t cry, cry, don’t cry you’re a big girl now
It’s so hard to be humble
When you know you’re worth more
To live and learn
Is all we can hope for
An attraction of pasts
Like the blindness of the summer sun
But what will you do
On when the rain comes through?
And don’t cry, cry, don’t cry you’re a big girl now
With a big girl’s needs
And a big girl’s dreams and promises
Why don’t you accept yourself?
Accept your desires
Meet your needs
Deny your problems
And don’t cry, cry, don’t cry you’re a big girl now
It’s so hard to be humble
When you know you’re worth more
To live and learn
Is all we can hope for
An attraction of pasts
Like the blindness of the summer sun
But what will you do
On when the rain comes through?
And don’t cry, cry, don’t cry you’re a big girl now
