She's got her eye on an older guy
Tired of being treated like a kid
Her friends keep saying she better act her age

But he'd never notice her if she did
She paints her eyes and colors her cheeks
Slides her nylons up her legs

She's going to wrap his love her little finger
And squeeze til the poor boy begs


She wants to do what the big girls do
Ready to try anything new
She's going to show them all a thing or two

She wants to do what the big girls do

She takes his hand, when he asked her to dance

As they move out onto the floor
The other girls talk behind her back
But they're really wishing they were her

She's been waiting for such a long long time
Not going to turn back now
She's gonna do a little growing up tonight

And he's going to show her how

She wants to do what the big girls do

Ready to try anything new
She's going to show them all a thing or two
She wants to do what the big girls do


The girl is gone, she'll give her heart away
The girl is gone, a woman takes her place


She wants to do what the big girls do
Ready to try anything new

She's going to show them all a thing or two
She wants to do what the big girls
She wants to do what the big girls do

Ready to try anything new
She's going to show them all a thing or two
She wants to do what the big girls

She wants to do what the big girls do
Ready to try anything new
She wants to do what the big girls do

Ready to try anything new
She's going to show them all a thing or two
She wants to do what the big girls do

Ready to try anything new
