Da da da da<br />
You're probably on your flight back to your home town<br />
I need some shelter of my own protection baby<br />
To be with myself and center, clarity<br />
Peace, serenity<br />
<br />
I hope you know, I hope you know<br />
That this has nothing to do with you<br />
It's personal, myself and I<br />
We've got some straightenin' out to do<br />
<br />
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket<br />
But I've got to get a move on with my life<br />
It's time to be a big girl now<br />
And big girls don't cry<br />
Don't cry<br />
Don't cry<br />
Don't cry<br />
<br />
The path that I'm walking I must go alone<br />
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown<br />
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?<br />
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay<br />
<br />
I hope you know, I hope you know<br />
That this has nothing to do with you<br />
It's personal, myself and I<br />
We've got some straightenin' out to do<br />
<br />
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket<br />
But I've got to get a move on with my life<br />
It's time to be a big girl now<br />
And big girls don't cry<br />
<br />
Like the little school mate in the school yard<br />
We'll play jacks and Uno cards<br />
I'll be your best friend and you'll be my Valentine<br />
<br />
Yes you can hold my hand if you want to<br />
'Cause I want to hold yours too<br />
We'll be playmates and share our secret worlds<br />
<br />
But it's time for me to go home<br />
It's getting late, dark outside<br />
I need to be with myself and center, clarity<br />
Peace, serenity<br />
<br />
I hope you know, I hope you know<br />
That this has nothing to do with you<br />
It's personal, myself and I<br />
We've got some straightenin' out to do<br />
<br />
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket<br />
But I've got to get a move on with my life<br />
It's time to be a big girl now<br />
And big girls don't cry
