Big Girls Don't Cry

The smell of the air lingers with 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

I hope you know, I hope you know

That this has nothing to do with you

It's personal, myself and I

We've got some straightening out to do

And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket

But I've got to get 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've 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

And big girls don't cry

Like the little schoolmate in the schoolyard

We'll play Jacks and Uno cards

I'll be your best friend and you'll be mine

Valentine

Guess you can hold my hand if you want to

'Cause I wanna hold yours too

We'll be playmates and best friends

And share our secret world

I hope you know, I hope you know

That this has nothing to do with you

It's personal, myself and I

We've 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

And big girls don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
