(Liz Anderson)

Oh mama, mama, who told you that lie
Whoever told you that big girls don't cry?
When I was a baby on my mama's knee
She would kiss all my teardrops away so tenderly.

I'd get hurt and the tear would well up in my eye
And she hold me and tell me that big girls don't cry
Oh mama, mama, who told you that lie
Whoever told you that big girls don't cry?

Then out of nowhere like an angel he came
I fell for his kisses and he promised me ring
He held me caressed me then told me goodbye
Mama, don't let them tell you that big girls don't cry.

Oh mama, mama, he told me goodbye
Don't let them tell you that big girls don't cry
Oh mama, mama, who told you that lie
Whoever told you that big girls don't cry?
