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 
Big be with myself in center, clarity, peace serenity 

I hope you know, I hope you know 
Girls that this has nothing to do with you 
It's personal, myself and I 
Don't We got some straightening out to do 
And not gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket 
Cry 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 
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 
Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending do they 
And I forseek 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 not gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket 
But I've gotta get a move on with my life 
Big It's time to be a big girl now 
And big girls don't cry 
Girls don't cry, don't cry, don't cry 

Like a little school mate in the school yard 
Don't we'll play jacks and uno cards 
I'll be your best friend 
Cry and you'll be my valentine 
Yes you can hold my hand if you want to 
Cuz 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 not gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket 
Alle 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 
Big don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
