Big girls don't cry - Fergie

The smell of your skin lingers on me nowYou're probably on your flight back to your home townI need some shelter of my own protection, babyTo be with myself and centerClarity, peace, serenity

I hope you know, I hope you knowThat this has nothing to do with youIt's personal, myself and IWe've got some straightenin' out to do

And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanketBut I've got to get a move on with my lifeIt's time to be a big girl nowAnd big girls don't cryDon't cry, don't cry, don't cry

The path that I'm walkin', I must go aloneI must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grownFairy 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 knowThat this has nothing to with youIt's personal, myself and IWe've got some straightenin' out to do

And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanketBut I've got to get a move on with my lifeIt's time to be a big girl nowAnd big girls don't cry

Like the little school mate in the school yardWe'll play jacks and Uno cardsI'll be your best friend and you'll be mineValentine

Yes, you can hold my hand if you want to'Cause I want to hold yours tooWe'll be playmates and loversAnd share our secret worlds

But it's time for me to go homeIt's getting late, dark outsideI need to be with myself, and centerClarity, peace, serenity

I hope you know, I hope you knowThat this has nothing to do with youIt's personal, myself and IWe've got some straightenin' out to do

And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanketBut I've got to get a move on with my lifeIt's time to be a big girl nowAnd big girls don't cryDon't cry, don't cry, don't cry
