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 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 walkin', I must go alone

I must take the (1)________ steps 'til I'm (2)________ grown, full grown

Fairy tales don't always (3)________ a (4)__________ 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 with you

It's personal, myself and I

We've got some straightenin' out to do




And I'm gonna miss you (5)________ 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




Like the little school mate in the school yard

We'll (6)________ jacks and Uno cards

I'll be your best friend and you'll be mine

Valentine




Yes, you can hold my hand if you want to

'Cause I want to hold yours too

We'll be (7)__________________ and lovers

And share our (8)____________ 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




I (9)________ 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
