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

I just wanna be a big city thing
City thing, city thing, city thing

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
