"Big Girls Don't Cry" music video by Fergie

La, 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

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 my Valentine
Yes you can hold my hand if you want to
Cos 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 and dark outside
I need to 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

La, da, da, da, da, da

Simply beautiful, this song. I'm not such a fan of Fergie's previous songs such as London Bridge and Fergalicious but this one I simply find it hard to get out of my head. She has definitely come full circle from her Wild Orchid and Black Eyed Peas days with this song. Based on her previous releases from her Duchess album, who would have thought she was capable of this? I was really amazed that she sang this song so flawlessly considering it is quite different from the hip-hop genre that she has become accustomed to lately.

This video also serves as a good fix for all Heroes (particularly Peter Petrelli) fans until the next season starts in about a month or so. The actor playing Peter Petrelli, Milo Ventimiglia is featured in this video. I really know what girls see in this guy. Masi Oka (Hiro Nakamura) or Adrian Pasdar (Nathan Petrelli) I understand but Milo?!? I don't see no charisma in him. Would someone please enlighten me on this? :P
