Lyrics of
Big Girls Dont Cry

Big Girls Dont Cry by Fergie delves into themes of growth and the pain of parting. Inspired by Fergies personal life changes and the end of her relationship with her former fiancé, the lyrics reflect a journey of self-discovery and the need for personal time.

The smell of your skin lingers on me now
Your 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 Ive got to get a move on with my life
Its 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 'til 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 Ive got to get a move on with my life
Its time to be a big girl now and big girls don't cry.

Like the little schoolmate 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
'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

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 Ive got to get a move on with my life
Its time to be a big girl now and big girls don't cry.
Don't cry, Don't cry, Don't cry
