[Verse 1]
No one ever told you it would be like this
That you keep on getting older, but you feel just like a kid
Now they treat you like a lady
Sometimes all you want is to cry like a baby
In your mama's arms
[Chorus]
Hold on, little big girl
Hold on
[Verse 2]
See her in the mirror in your make-up case
Who's that little girl with the lines on her face
Painting on the eyes of a grown woman
And the smile of a child trying to please someone
You look like your mama when you smile that way
Standing in the kitchen at the end of a working day
Children on her mind, wine on her breath
Finishing the dishes in the darkness
[Chorus]
Hold on, little big girl
Hold on, little big girl
Hold on, little big girl
Hold on
No one ever told you it would be like this
That you keep on getting older, but you feel just like a kid
Now they treat you like a lady
Sometimes all you want is to cry like a baby
In your mama's arms
[Chorus]
Hold on, little big girl
Hold on
[Verse 2]
See her in the mirror in your make-up case
Who's that little girl with the lines on her face
Painting on the eyes of a grown woman
And the smile of a child trying to please someone
You look like your mama when you smile that way
Standing in the kitchen at the end of a working day
Children on her mind, wine on her breath
Finishing the dishes in the darkness
[Chorus]
Hold on, little big girl
Hold on, little big girl
Hold on, little big girl
Hold on
