Dusty Springfield
Mama’s Little Girl
[Verse 1]
I took the ribbon from my hair
And I'm lettin' it all hang down
So if your lookin' for the same old me
Gotta tell you that she's left town
Don't try to call the number, baby
Your gonna get no reply
'Cause suddenly I'm changin'
I'm finally rearrangin'
In this day of liberation
I'm looking to find myself (Find myself)
What's the use of being patient?
You ain't goin' nowhere (Goin' nowhere)
Got my own two step together
And I want the first slow dance with you
I just saw Venus risin'
I guess I'm realizin'

[Chorus]
I ain't mama's little girl no more
Baby, your the first to know
I ain't mama's little girl no more
I took a little time to grow
It's gonna be worth the waitin'
The anticipatin'
I'm not mama's little baby no more
[Verse 2]
Well, I've been everyone's best friend
Someone they could tell their troubles to (Troubles to)
How come they never notice me
And the pain that I was goin' through? (Goin' through)
I've seen the lonely side of livin'
I never want to go back there again
The sad old me is dyin'
Tonight there's no denyin'

[Chorus]
I ain't mama's little girl no more
Baby, your the first to know
I ain't mama's little girl no more
I took a little time to grow
It's gonna be worth the waitin'
The anticipatin'
I'm not mama's little baby no more

[Bridge]
(Mama's little baby)
(Mama's little baby)

[Chorus]
I ain't mama's little girl no more
Baby, your the first, the first to know
I ain't mama's little girl no more
I took a little time, a time to grow
It's gonna be worth the waitin'
The anticipatin'
I'm not mama's little baby no more, no more
I ain't mama's little girl no more
Baby, your the first, the first to know
Said, I ain't mama's little girl no, no more
I took a little time to grow
It's gonna be worth the waitin'
The anticipatin'
I'm not mama's little baby no more, no more
