[Verse 1]
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
To be with myself and center
Clarity, peace, serenity
[Chorus]
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothin' to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We 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
[Post-Chorus]
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
Big girls don't cry
[Verse 2]
The path that I'm walkin', I must go alone
Yeah, I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown
And fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay
[Chorus]
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothin' to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We 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
[Post-Chorus]
Big girls don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
[Outro]
Big girls don't cry
