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, (1)____________ and I

We've got some straightenin' out to do




And I'm gonna miss you like a (2)__________ misses their blanket

But I've got to get a move on with my life

It's (3)________ 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 baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown

Fairy tales don't always have a (4)__________ ending, do they?

And I foresee the (5)________ ahead if I stay




I (6)________ 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 child misses (7)__________ 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 play jacks and Uno cards

I'll be (8)________ best friend and you'll be mine

Valentine




Yes, you can (9)________ 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




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 (10)________ 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
