Sometimes when I ask you if you've got time to play,
You say “Not right now, I’m just too busy! Go away”
But when you’re in a hurry, and I am moving slow
You pick me up and carry me, and, (whistle!) off we go!
You’re bigger, bigger, bigger than me!
Bigger, bigger, bigger than me!
N’you can make me do things, even when I don’t agree
Cause you’re bigger,
Bigger, bigger, bigger than me!
Just because you're bigger, that does not mean
That your head always figures out, the best ideas for me!
Sometimes I get great big ideas in this little head of mine
But you won't get to hear them, if you don't take the time!
Chorus
Sometimes I ask questions, n'you don't pay attention
You say "Just a minute!" then you pick up the phone
And that minute turns to hours, while I wait there on the floor
And when you're done, my question's gone! I can't remember anymore!
Chorus (And you can make me wait for all eternity!)
There's always someone bigger, who'll disagree with you
And sometimes make you do things that you, don't want to do
Big people throw their weight around, when they're feeling bad
So please don't pass it on to me if someone bigger made you mad
Cho: (So don’t just make me do it, find a way to help me see)
No, don’t just make me do it, find a way to help me see,
Cause I love you, and you’re
Bigger, bigger, bigger than me!
