Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie

The smell of your skin (1)______________ on me now

You're probably on (2)________ (3)____________ (4)________ to your home town

I need (5)________ (6)______________ of my own protection, baby

To be with myself and center

Clarity, peace, serenity




I (7)________ you know, I hope you know

That (8)________ has nothing to do (9)________ 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 walkin', I must go alone

I must take the (10)________ steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown

Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending, do they?

And I foresee the dark (11)__________ if I stay




I hope you know, I hope you know

That this has nothing to with you

It's personal, (12)____________ and I

We've got some straightenin' out to do




And I'm gonna miss you like a child (13)____________ (14)__________ 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 (15)____________ 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 (16)________ my hand if you want to

'Cause I (17)________ to hold (18)__________ too

We'll be playmates and lovers

And share our secret worlds




But it's (19)________ for me to go home

It's (20)______________ late, dark outside

I (21)________ 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 (22)__________ miss you like a (23)__________ misses their blanket

But I've got to get a move on (24)________ 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
