I need (2)________ 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 (3)________ you

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

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




The (4)________ that I'm walkin', I must go alone

And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay

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

Valentine




Yes, you can hold my hand if you want to

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 (9)________ 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 (10)____________ 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
