da da da da

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 blankets

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 till i'm full grown, full grown

fairy 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 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 blankets

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 friends

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 and 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 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
