You're a Big Girl Now

Our conversation was short and sweet

It nearly swept me

Off of my feet

And I'm back in the rain

Oh, you are on dry land

You made it there somehow

You're a big girl now

Bird on the horizon, sittin' on a fence

He's singin' his song for me

At his own expense

And I'm just like that bird

Oh, singin' just for you

I hope that you can hear

Hear me singin' through these tears

Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast

Oh, but what a shame

That all we've shared can't last

And I can change, I swear

Oh, see what you can do

I can make it through

You can make it too

Love is so simple, to quote a phrase

You've known it all the time

I'm learnin' it these days

Oh, I know where I can find you

Oh, in somebody's room

It's a price I have to pay

You're a big girl all the way

A change in the weather

Is known to be extreme

But what's the sense of changing horses in midstream?

And I'm going out of my mind

Oh, with a pain that stops and starts

Like a corkscrew to my heart

Ever since we've been apart
