All the people gather around and see the sun set high
Leaders and your disused milk will quietly pass you by
What will it be my melody can set you free

I know you you'd rather be with us than be with them today
I could be alone with you
While all the pretty people watch the years go by
And in your free world you will sail on
Ooh! You're a big girl now
You're a big girl now.
I see her through jet pilot eyes mysterious and thin
Like a raven breakin' free from the towers they keep you in
What a scene it is to see I'd love to have you round
I will be alone with you
I would wait out on the streets watching wheels go by
And with your freedom you will sail on
Ooh! You're a big girl now
You're a big girl now
