| Lyrics: | I’m feeling so free This feelings takin’ over me Used to be insecure A prisoner of your love boy But not anymore Now I’m grown up You just held me down In and out of love we fell I needed time to figure it out But not anymore Thought that you could keep me in your little bubble Not gonna take it, I know I can make it I ain’t gonna cry no more Im a big girl I wont settle for less I’m a big girl Not a damsel in distress I’m pretending that you don’t really exist So stay away Stay away Cause I’m a big girl now You first and me last That’s all in the past If its wrong or if its right I’m putting myself first tonight All of the time Don’t tell me what to do There’s no more me and you I’m throwing all the toys away I’m not coming out to play Not today Its all a game to you, Can’t tell me what to do I got to be strong And keep pushing on All grown up baby Repeat Chorus Chorus Final Chorus I’m a big girl No more angel’s smile I’m a big girl Got a new sexy style I love that you don’t even exist Just stay away Stay away Cause Im a big girl now Written by Dave Tough & Lauren Winans |

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
