Mama's Little Girl - Dusty Springfield

I took the ribbon from my hair

And I’m letting it all hang down

So, if you’re lookin’for the same old me Gotta tell you that she’s left town

Don’t try to call my number, baby

You’re gonna get no reply

'Cause suddenly I’m changin'

I’m finally rearrangin'

In this day of liberation

I’m lookin’to find my share

What’s the use of being patient?

You ain’t goin’nowhere

I got my own two-step together

And I want the first slow dance with you

I just saw Venus risin'

Guess I’m realisin'

I ain’t mama’s little girl no more

And baby, you’re 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 waiting

The anticipating

I’m not mama’s little baby no more

Well, I’ve been everyone’s best friend

Someone they could tell their troubles to How come they never noticed me And the pain that I was going through?

I’ve seen the lonely side of living

I never want to go back there again

The sad old me is dyin'

Tonight there is no denyin'

I ain’t mama’s little girl no more

And baby, you’re 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 waiting

The anticipating

I’m not mama’s little baby no more

I ain’t mama’s little girl no more

And baby, you’re 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 waiting

The anticipating

I’m not mama’s little baby no more, no more

I ain’t mama’s little girl no more

And baby, you’re the first, the first to know

I said I ain’t mama’s little girl no, no more

I took a little time, a time to grow

It’s gonna be worth the waiting

The anticipating

I’m not mama’s little baby no more, no more
