The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You’re 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… A’ joup yiu nou, a’ joup yiu noo
That this has nothing to do with you… Da’ dis ‘as notdin’ tu du wuit yiu
It’s personal, myself and I… Its personal, mayself enay
We’ve got some straightenin’ out to do… Wui’ gat som strei’ninau’ tu du
And I’m gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket… En’ a’m gona mis yiu laik a chail’ mises deer blanket
But I’ve got to get a move on with my life… Bot ay’ gat tu guet a muv on wuit may laif
It’s time to be a big girl now… Its taim tu bi a big guerl nao
And big girls don’t cry… En’ big guerls don’ crae
Don’t cry… Don’ crae
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

Like the little school mate in the school yard
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 and dark outside
I need to be with myself and center clarity, peace, serenity
