They say sweetie you\'re not grown, you\'re just a child
You are far from adulthood, you my dear are too wild
I try to grow but my momma says no
She wont let me go
My mother tells me I\'ll be her baby till im fifty
She didn\'t tell me how bad she wanted me to stay a child
I\'ll still be a child when im fifty
As far as she\'s concerned
My family says sweetie you are a child, you are not a lady yet
It\'s time to talk, come in her and sit
She says I know you are growing up and i know you live on your own
This has been coming, we\'ve all know
And then she says but you\'re still my baby
And I say but I will still be a lady...maybe
