You’re a Big Girl Now
You’re a Big Girl Now Lyrics
Our conversation was short and sweet
It nearly swept me off-a my feet
And I'm back in the rain, oh, oh
And you are on dry land
You made it there somehow
You're a big girl now
[Verse 2]
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, oh
Singing just for you
I hope that you can hear
Hear me singing through these tears
[Verse 3]
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast
Oh, but what a shame that all we've shared can't last
I can change, I swear, oh, oh
See what you can do
I can make it through
You can make it too
[Verse 4]
Love is so simple, to quote a phrasе
You've known it all the time, I'm lеarning it these days
Oh, I know where I can find you, oh, oh
In somebody's room
It's a price I have to pay
You're a big girl all the way
A change in the weather is known to be extreme
But what's the sense of changing horses in midstream?
I'm going out of my mind, oh, oh
With a pain that stops and starts
Like a corkscrew to my heart
Ever since we've been apart

The way that I think about “You’re a Big Girl Now” is it’s a bit like having a conversation with the self. I don’t think that that aspect of the song is in Dylan’s original version or intent, but to me, it was very much interpreting the song as a coming-of-age story. I think that that’s something that we can all relate to, where you have those life experiences and suddenly you wake up and you go, “Oh gosh. I was a kid yesterday and I’m an adult today.” There’s some kind of tectonic shift that happens. I think that’s a good way for this record to end, because that is the place where I left this record. I’d gone through a transformation and a really quite exhilarating and life-changing experience by doing these songs. So it seemed like an appropriate place to finish it off.
