Be A Big Girl

You, you, you don't remember
You agreed it best to surrender
Told me, they'd need a father
Told me, I do too
You, you, you don't remember
Handing out flags to the elders
Told me I had 'til September
Some time for me to pack my bags
You poisoned all the water
Your parting gift was to make me smaller
And I was running late
With no food upon my plate
You, you, you never showed me
All the love you said that you owed me
Sometimes, I bet against you
But not you, you had the sense to
Be a big girl, be a big girl, be a big
Be a big girl, be a big girl, be a big girl, girl, girl, girl
Be a big girl, be a big girl, be a big
Be a big girl, be a big girl, be a big girl, girl, girl, girl
You, you, you don't remember
Upending all of the embers
Instead, you let your temper
See red and green and gold and blue
You, you, you weren't able
To leave any room at the table
Sit still, await your appraisal
There's still some time to pack your bags
Be a big girl, be a big girl, be a big
Be a big girl, be a big girl, be a big girl, girl, girl, girl
