Big Girls Don’t Cry (The Voice Performance)

[Intro]

La, la, da, da

[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 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

And big girls don't cry

[Verse 2]

The path that I'm walking, I must go alone

I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown

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 nothing to do with you

It's time to be a big girl now

And big girls don't cry

[Bridge]

Like a little schoolmate in the school yard

We'll play jacks and UNO cards

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

[Chorus]

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

And big girls don't cry

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, ooh
