Mama's Little Girl

(album: Cameo - 1973)

I took the ribbon from my hair,
and I'm letting it all hang down
So if your looking for the same old me,
gotta tell you that shes left town

Don't try to call the number baby
your gonna get no reply,
Cause suddenly I'm changin,
I'm finally rearranging

In this day of liberation,
I'm lookin to find myself
Whats the use of bein patient
you ain't goin no where

got my own two step together
and I want the first slow dance with you

I just saw Venus risin
and I guess I'm realizin

[Chorus:]
I ain't mamas little girl no more
baby your the first to know
I ain't mamas little girl no more
I took a little time to grow

Its gonna be worth the waitin,
the anticipating,
I m not mamas little baby. no more

Well I've been everyone's best friend,
someone they could tell their troubles to,
I found they never notice me
and the pain that I was goin through

I've seen the lonely side of livin
I never want to go back there again
Sun on me is dyin
Tonight theres no denyin

[Chorus]

(oooo-oooos)
