Big Girls Are Best Lyrics

(This can be found on the "Walk On" single, the "Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of" single, and the 7 mini album.)

As long as the night is colored blue and black
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
As long as you're on your knees and she's not on her back
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Avenue Atlantico, 1702
She's coco butter
Baby she's the glue
She's got a baby at her breast
She knows big girls are best
Momma momma momma

I'm gonna change like the weather hot to cold
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
She keeps it all together she's got the motherlode
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
She feels it - every sensation
She's got a smile like salvation
She's got a baby at her breast
She knows big girls are best

Sexy momma, momma, momma
Sexy momma, momma, momma

She's elliptical, also political
Also spiritual, not superficial
Yeah, she's tropical
Yes, she's illogical
Those little girls are a pest
Big girls are the best

As long as the night is colored blue and black
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
As long as you're on your knees and she's not on her back
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

She can taste every sensation
She's got a smile like salvation
She's got a baby, a baby at her breast
She walks like she talks
Big girls are best

Big girls, momma, momma, momma
Sexy momma, momma, momma
Sexy momma, momma, momma

My momma

There's a dual meaning of course... "big girls" doesn't have to mean fat girls.

It also can mean older women. As in "You're a big girl now." Opposite of a little girl.

I mean we put a lot of emphasis on youth and the nubile beauty of young girls, but young girls are fickle and don't know who they are or what they want. Older women know what they want and who they are and are comfortable with it. They make better companions.

Big girls are best.

I could not agree more. I think of this song as a long overdue praise of the Wife/Mother role that our society under-appreciates because neither calling earns money (per se). A true homemaker is one whose job is invaluable and therefore not transferable (i.e. farmed out to the lowest bidder).

On a more esoteric note, I see praise of Lady Wisdom--the Holy Spirit.

Big girls ARE best.

Every time I listen to this song, I hear Oasis. The songwriting style and the singing style are so reminiscent of the Gallagher brothers, I would have sworn it was a cover version of an Oasis song I've never heard before. Is it just me?

How many more U2 songs have the word 'sex' or 'sexy' in them? I can't think of any.

I can name a lest a few that have "sex" or "sexy". In "Get On Your Boots", "...Get on your boots/Your sexy boots" and "A man and a wonman," "For love and sex and fear and all the things that keep us here." In both songs I think that "sex" and "sexy" are used respectfully to support woman not to use them.
