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
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

it seems like bono was improvising on the mic here and getting some wild imagery:
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
What this means specifically you have to ask Bono.
She´s the tide in Mysterious Ways, she´s as close to God you can get. That´s what I think is one interpertion.
Also, I want to add that the most beautiful women I have ever seen are ones who own who they are and so have "a smile like salvation." Whether you are talking about lovely Brazilian women walking down the beach in G-strings or the astounding beauty of a mother nursing her child, women are most beautiful when they are confident and conscious. The whole package: spiritual, logical, political, beautiful.
BTW, those of you who think pregnant, post-pregnant, or nursing mothers are just fat and unattractive are not paying attention. Many are among the most amazing-looking and amazing-being women because they encapsulate and grow new life. Now that takes confidence!
Lastly, Bono talks about "Big Girls" in the book "Bono in Conversation" being originally the rockin' supermodels he knows (Christ Turlington, for example) who do it all and have it all together. I'm sure he includes his wife who has her own charities, businesses, and runs a house with Bono and their four children, as well as all the other women who give it their all.
I love this song. It feels like a big shout out to me!
Avenue Atlantico, 1702 ...the Copacabana Palace in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Sexy, tropical, coco butter, big girls? Has to be brazilian women!! Anyone who has been to brazil would agree.
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.
On a more esoteric note, I see praise of Lady Wisdom--the Holy Spirit.
Big girls ARE best.
