Lyrics

Why do grown-ups have to yell and scold?
Why do I have to do all that I'm told?
I’m a big girl now, and I hate all the rules
I’m a big girl now, ‘cause I go to school.

I love you Ally, you understand me.
I want to do what I want, when I want
I think life stinks, it's so unfair
I want to eat what I want, mmm, a chocolate éclair.

I'm just a kid, and I love to run and play
Up and down, in and out, all through the day
I don't need anyone to keep an eye on me
They're so mean, why can't they let me be?

Why do grown-ups have to act like that?
Why do I have to be baby-sat?
I’m a big girl now, I can make my own bed
I’m a big girl now, keep my budgie well-fed.

They think I’m a baby that has to be watched
Do I really need my mom and dad so much?
I’m a big girl now, can ride my bike real far,
Swim, and roller blade, and play my guitar.

Why do they think they know everything?
Why can't they see I'm doing some listening?
I'm a big girl now, hear what I have to say
I'm a big girl now, yours is not the only way

Ally, I love you, you understand me
I’ll put on my party clothes and we’ll have some tea
I’m a big girl now
