Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie

The smell of your skin lingers on me now

You're probably on your flight back to (1)________ (2)________ town

I need some (3)______________ of my own protection, baby

To be with myself and center

Clarity, peace, serenity




I hope you know, I (4)________ you know

That (5)________ 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 (6)________ my life

It's time to be a big (7)________ now

And big (8)__________ don't cry

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry




The path that I'm walkin', I must go alone

I (9)________ take the (10)________ steps 'til I'm (11)________ grown, (12)________ grown

Fairy tales don't always have a (13)__________ 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 like a (14)__________ (15)____________ their blanket

But I've got to get a (16)________ on with my life

It's (17)________ to be a big (18)________ now

And big girls don't cry




Like the little school mate in the school yard

We'll play jacks and Uno cards

I'll be your (19)________ (20)____________ 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 (21)__________________ 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 (22)________ myself, and center

Clarity, peace, serenity




I hope you know, I (23)________ you know

That this has nothing to do with you

It's personal, myself and I

We've got (24)________ straightenin' out to do




And I'm (25)__________ miss you (26)________ a child misses their blanket

But I've got to get a move on (27)________ my life

It's time to be a big girl now

And big (28)__________ don't cry

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
