Lyrics

Na-da-da-da

The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You're probably on your flight back to your hometown
I need some shelter of my own protection baby
To be with myself in center, clarity, peace, serenity

chorus:
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We got some straightening out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've gotta 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
Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I forseek the dark ahead if I stay

chorus

Like a 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
'Cause I wanna hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret words
But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late, dark outside
I need to be with myself in center, clarity, peace, serenity

chorus

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
