You’re a Big Girl Now (9/16/74, Take 2)

[Verse 1]

Our conversation was short and sweet

It nearly swept me off-a my feet

And I'm back in the rain, oh

And you are on dry land

Oh, you made it there somehow

You're a big girl now

[Verse 2]

Love is so simple, to quote a phrase

You've known it all the while, I'm learning it these days

Oh, I know where I can find you, oh

In somebody's room

Oh, It's a price I have to pay

You're a big girl all the way

[Verse 3]

Bird on the horizon, sitting on a fence

He's singing his song for me at his own expense

And I'm just like that bird, oh

Singing just for you

Oh, I hope that you can hear

Hear me singing through these tears

[Verse 4]

Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast

Oh, but what a shame it is that all we've shared can't last

I can change, I swear, oh

See what you can do, oh

I can make it through

You can make it too

[Verse 5]

A change in the weather can be extreme

But it ain't like changing horses in midstream?

I'm going out of my mind, oh

With a pain that stops and starts, oh

Like a corkscrew to my heart

Ever since we've been apart
