Big Girls DON'T CRY

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 Be with myself and 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 got to get a move on with my life It's time to be a big girl now Big girls don't cry Don't cry, don't cry don't cry The path that I'm walkin, I must go alone I must take the baby 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 straightening 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 Big girls don't cry Like a little school mate in a 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 world But it's time for me to go home It's getting late and 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 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 got to get a move on with my life It's time to be a big girl now Big girls don't cry Don't cry, don't cry don't cry
