Big Girls Don't Cry
Lala Band feat. Alexia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to 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 '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 I've got to 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
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, 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 I've got to 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 song "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Lala Band feat. Alexia is a beautifully poignant ballad about the emotional journey of someone who has just gone through heartbreak. The song begins with the singer reflecting on the lingering scent of a past lover on their skin and the realization that their ex-partner has already flown back to their hometown. The singer admits they need shelter and protection to heal from the pain of the breakup, so they can focus on finding clarity, peace, and serenity.
The song's central theme is about the bittersweet decision to move on from a past relationship to grow and mature. The singer acknowledges that they will miss their former lover, but ultimately, it's time for them to become a "big girl" and face the future head-on. While the path ahead is uncertain and may not be easy, the singer is determined to take baby steps towards growing and finding themselves until they become full-grown.
The final verse concludes with the singer reminiscing about simpler times when they were in love, playing jacks and Uno cards with their lover, holding hands as they walk home. However, the time has come to let go and find inner peace once again, leaving behind everything that no longer serves them. The song ends with the beautiful and catchy chorus: "Big girls don't cry, don't cry, don't cry."
Overall, "Big Girls Don't Cry" is a powerful and relatable song about moving on from heartbreak, finding inner strength, and growing up. It reminds us that it's okay to be vulnerable, miss someone, and even cry, but ultimately, we need to be strong and face the challenges of the future head-on.
