Big Girls Don't Cry

Da da da da

The smell of your skin lingers on me now

You're probably on your flight back to your hometown

I need some shelter of my own protection baby

Be with myself in center clarity peace serenity

I hope you know I hope you know

That this has nothing to do with you

It's personal myself and I

We got some straightening out to do

And I'm gonna miss you

Like a child misses their blanket

But I've gotta get a move on with my life

It's time to be a big girl now

And big girls don't cry

Don't cry don't cry don't cry

The path that I'm walking I must go alone

I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown

Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending do they

And I forseek the dark ahead if I stay

I hope you know I hope you know

That this has nothing to do with you

It's personal myself and I

We got some straightening out to do

And I'm gonna miss you

Like a child misses their blanket

But I've gotta get a move on with my life

It's time to be a big girl now

And big girls don't cry

Like a little school mate in the school yard

We'll play jacks and uno cards

I'll be your best friend

And you'll be my valentine

Yes you can hold my hand if you want to

Cuz I wanna hold yours too

We'll be playmates and lovers

And share our secret worlds

But it's time for me to go home

It's getting late dark outside

I need to be with myself in center

Clarity peace serenity

I hope you know I hope you know

That this has nothing to do with you

It's personal myself and I

We got some straightening out to do

And I'm gonna miss you

Like a child misses their blanket

But I've gotta get a move on with my life

It's time to be a big girl now

And big girls don't cry

Don't cry don't cry don't cry
