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 home town 
I need some shelter 
of my own protection baby 
To be with myself 
and center, clarity 
Peace, Serenity 
I hope you know, 
I hope you know 
That this has nothing to do 
It's personal, myself and I 
We've got some straightenin' out to do 
And I'm gonna miss you 
like a child misses their blanket 
But I've got to 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, full grown 
Fairytales don't always have 
a happy ending, do they? 
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay 
I hope you know, 
I hope you know 
That this has nothing to do 
It's personal, myself and I 
We've got some straightenin' out to do 
And I'm gonna miss you 
like a child misses their blanket 
But I've got to get a move 
on with my life 
It's time to be a big girl now 
And big girls don't cry 
Like the 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 
'Cause I want to 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 
and center, clarity 
Peace, Serenity 
I hope you know, 
I hope you know 
That this has nothing to do 
It's personal, myself and I 
We've got some straightenin' out to do 
And I'm gonna miss you 
like a child misses their blanket 
But I've got to 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
