Big Girls Don't Cry Lyrics - Dutchess - Fergie

Da da da da 

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 walking 

I must go alone 

I must take the baby steps till I'm full grown, full grown 

Fairy tales don't always have a happy 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 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

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 mine 

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 and 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 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 

La da da da da da
