It took 17 years but I figured it out

I put my high heels on, and I′m outta the house

I caught a Greyhound bus to the city of doubtsAnd I'm running wild, running wild

I met an old queen with a fake Gucci bag

She said, "Look at you kid, girl, I had what you had

You better get - done, so you never look back"

And I′m running wild

Running out of time

Running out of

Three, two, one

Mama, fight all night with me

Mama, that's alright with me

Look at what you did, mama, look at me

I just wanna be a big city thing

Mama, you can't get mad at this drama

Spent all night on this

I′ma pick it up, you can keep the keys

I just wanna be a big city thing

I fell in love with a drink at a Hollywood bar

Yeah, we were three blocks back from the Hollywood stars

She said, "Kick it with me, and we can freak in my car"

And now we′re running wild, running wild

I work two jobs, so I'm not on the streets

I got a big dumb boss but his wife′s kinda sweet

We had a girls' night out, now she′s teaming with me

Yeah, we're running wild

Running out of time

Running out of

Three, two, one, wow!

Mama, fight all night with me

Mama, that′s alright with me

Look at what you did, mama, look at me

I just wanna be a big city thing

Mama, you can't get mad at this drama

Spent all night on this

I'ma pick it up, you can keep the keys

I just wanna be a big city thing

City thing, city thing, city thing

City thing, city thing

Look what you did, now look at me

I′m about to be a big city thing

City thing, city thing, city thing

City thing, city thing

Look what you did, now look at me

I′m about to be a big city thing

Mama (mama), that's alright with me

Look at what you did, mama, look at me

I just wanna be a big city thing

City thing, city thing, city thing

City thing, city thing

Look what you did, now look at me

I′m about to be a big city thing (look what you did)

Wow!

City thing, city thing, city thing (I'm a big city kid)

City thing, city thing

Look what you did, now look at me

I′m about to be a big city thing
