No one ever told you it would be like this That you keep on getting older, but you feel just like a kid Now they treat you like a lady Sometimes all you want is to cry like a baby In your mama's arms Hold on little big girl Hold on See her in the mirror in your make-up case Who's that little girl with the lines on her face Painting on the eyes of a grown woman And the smile of a child trying to please someone You look like your mama when you smile that way Standing in the kitchen at the end of a working day Children on her mind, wine on her breath Finishing the dishes in the darkness Hold on little big girl Hold on little big girl Hold on little big girl Hold on Hold on a minute, mom Tell me why How come I feel so small sometimes? SongtexteI thought by now I'd have it all figured out Well I don't How come you never told me? You grow up by mistake Grow up by surprise Grow up underneath the gaze of many grown men's eyes Try to act your age now, but you don't know how it's done All grown up and somehow still afraid to disappoint someone Let him have his way instead of saying what you want Hold on Tell him it's okay instead of telling him what's wrong Hold on How come you're ashamed to show your face without your make-up on? Maybe you should face that you're ashamed to not be young Standing in the kitchen With a ticking clock And you catch your own reflection In the window in the dark And for a moment, it's your mama Coming home from work Tell her you love her Tell her you're her Little big girl, hold on Little big girl, hold on Little big girl, hold on Hold on Aus Songtexte Mania
