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

Fairytales 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

'Cos 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,

dark outside

I need to be with

myself and

center, clarity

Peace, serenity, I

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
