BIG GIRLS DON'T CRY
by Fergie
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,
To be with myself
And center, clarity, peace, serenity.
[Chorus:]
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 straightening out to do.
And I'm gonna miss you
Like a child misses his blanket.
But I've got to 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.
Fairytales don't always have
A happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay.
[Chorus]
Like the little schoolmate
In the schoolyard,
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 want to 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
And center, clarity, peace, serenity.
[Chorus]
