”You're a Big Girl Now” is a song by Bob Dylan, released on his 15th studio album Blood on the Tracks in 1975. The lyric „Love is so simple, to quote a phrase” refers to the title of The Dells song „Love is So Simple.” The title also makes reference to the soul song, „You're A Big Girl Now” by The Stylistics, released in 1971.

It is a kind of sequel to the song „Just Like a Woman” (1966), with the line „I'm back in the rain” echoing the earlier „Tonight as I stand inside the rain”., October 2008
