BIG GIRLS DONT CRY

The smell of your skin

lingers on me now

You're probably on

your flightback

to your home town

I need some shelter of my

own protection baby

To be with myself and

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'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

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 aloneI must take the

baby steps 'til I'mfull grown, full grown

Fairytales don't always

have a happy ending, do they?

And I foresee the dark

ahead if I stay

Like the little school mate in

the school yard

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..........
