Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a big girl, you're a big boy now, now, ow
Back in the day when you were young (it was fun)
Little girl, didn't think you were the one (now here I come)
Your sexy walk, your sexy talk (that's whats up)
Little girl, you're clearly not the same kid from the block
Not no more, that's for sure
Boy get your ass out on the floor
Let's explore, let's explore
You know I like the way you moving (moving)
Girl you're all grown up and now your ready to let it go
Wanna be a big girl, got to prove it (prove it)
With a body like that you got a grown man ready to blow
I'm a big boy, you're a big girl now, now, ow
I'm a big girl, you're a big boy now, now, ow
Back in the day when I was young (kinda dumb)
But I always knew I'd be the one (girl here you come)
Gonna get you wet, gonna make you sweat (girl I bet)
Gonna give you something you ain't ever gonna forget
You ain't no little girl no more (nope)
