Big Girls Don't Cry

My newest purchase from I-Tunes is Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie. I absolutely LOVE that song. Last week I had to call this same parent about 4 times. Every time I called her, instead of the phone ringing, the phone played a song for me to listen to. The first time I heard the little clip of the song I loved it. By the third time I called her and heard it, I asked her what it was and told her I was going to have to keep calling her just to hear the song. I was surprised when she told me it was Fergie. I immediately went to I-Tunes and purchased the song. I have been listening to it over and over! Surprisingly, I was watching American Idol on my Tivo and Ryan announced that Fergie would be singing. I was so glad to recognize my song of the week, Big Girls Don't Cry"! It was so fun to hear her sing it live. I keep replaying it! If you haven't heard it, you are missing out! Here are the lyrics in case you want to sing along. You can buy it at I-Tunes for 1 dollar. I think I will run the 5K to this on Saturday!

Fergie Big Girls Don't Cry (Personal) Lyrics

da 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
Be with myself in 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 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 forsee 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 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

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 worlds
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 ya

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
