Big Girls Don't Cry

La, ra, ra, ra
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 
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 
Ffull grown
Fairy tales don't always 
Have a happy ending, do they?
And I foreseek 
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
'Cause 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 
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

La, ra, ra 
Ra, ra, ra
