Intro x2

Verse 1

 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.

Chorus

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

Verse 2

The path....

Chorus

Bridge

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 instead of clarity, peace, serenity

Chorus

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