Big Girls Don't Cry piano leadsheet with chords

La, da, da, da.

The smell of your skin lingers on me now.

You're prob'ly 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 nothin' 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 walkin', I must go alone.

I must take the baby steps 'til 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.

Like the little schoolmate in the schoolyard,

we'll play jacks and

Uno cards.

I'll be your best friend and you'll be my

Valentine. Yes, you can hold my hand if you want to,

'cause 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, yeah.

I hope you know, I hope you know that this has nothin' 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, da, da, da.
