Big Girls Don'T Cry

1, 2, 3, 4...

Da da da da

The smell of your skin lingers on me now

You're probably on your flight back to your hometown

And I need some shelter of my own protection, baby

Be with myself and center, clarity, peace, serenity

I hope you know, I hope you know

Nothing to do with you, it's personal

We got some stringin' it out to do

And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses a 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 along.

I must tic-tac the paper steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown.

Fairy tales 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 with you

It's personal, myself and I

We got some stringin' it out to do

And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses its 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 a little schoolmaid in the schoolyard

We'll play jacks and unicorns

I'll be your best friend

You'll be my valentine

Yes, you can hold my hand

And if you want to, 'cause I want to hold yours too

We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret words

But it's time for me to go home

It's getting late, I'm dark outside

I need to be with myself and set a

Clarity

peace

serenity I

Hope you know. I hope you know nothing to do with you

It's personal

Myself, we got some string on it all 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
