Big Girls Don t Cry lyrics

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
