You're A Big Boy Now

(album: You're A Big Boy Now - 1967)

I know there's things you never thought before
That have to do with walking out old doors
You've been prepared as long as time allowed.

Well I don't know how but you're a big boy now
Come on and take a bow 'cause you're a big boy now.

You know the girls are taking notice of you
They say your hair is getting curly too
So shave today, you'll shave tomorrow as well
You're run by you and not a class-room bell.

And I don't know how but you're a big boy now.

And the great big world daddy threw before you
With the pretty faces and the claws that tore you
And it's all so different when you get to sources
And love will make you strong as a team of wild horses.

I know there's things you never thought before
That have to do with walking out old doors
You've been prepared as long as time allowed.

Well I don't know how but you're a big boy now
Come on and take a bow 'cause you're a big boy now.

Come on and take a bow 'cause you're a big boy now
