la da da da
the smell of your skin lingers on me now
your probably on your flight back to your home town
i need some shelter of my own protection baby
to be with myself instead of*, 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 straightenin' out to do
and i'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
but ive got to get a move on with my life
its 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 until i'm full grown
fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they
and i foreseek the dark ahead if i stay

[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 straightenin' out to do
and i'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
but i've got to get a move on with my life
its time to be a big girl now
and big girls don't cry

like the little school mate in the school yard
we'll play jacks and uno cards
ill be your best friend and you'll be mine
valentine
yes you can hold my hand if u want to
cause i want to hold yours too
well be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds
but its time for me to go home
its getting late, dark outside
i need to be with myself instead of*, 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 straightenin' out to do
and i'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
but i've got to get a move on with my life
its time to be a big girl now

don't cry
don't cry
don't cry
