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

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 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
