BIG GIRL don't cry

"Big Girls Don't Cry"

The smell of your skin lingers on me now

You're probably on your flight back to your home town

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 straightenin' out to do

And I'm gonna miss you

Like a child miss 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

The path that I'm walking

I must go alone

I must take the baby steps until I'm full grown

Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?

And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay

Don't cry

Don't cry

Don't cry
