The smell of your skin lingers on me now You're probably on your flight back to your hometown I need some shelter of my own protection, baby 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 straightening up to do And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their play kid But I've gotta 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 straightening up to do And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their play kid But I've gotta 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 maid in the schoolyard 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 wanna 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, yeah 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 straightening up to do And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their play kid But I've gotta 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 da
