Big girls don't cry
Big girls don't cry

Bi-ig girls do-on't cry-yi-yi (they don't cry)
Bi-ig girls do-on't cry-yi-yi (who said they don't cry?)
(My-y girl) said goodbye-yi-yi (my oh my)
My-y girl didn't cry (I wonder why)

(Silly boy) told my girl we had to break up
(Silly boy) hoped that she would call my bluff
(Silly boy) then she said to my surprise
"Big girls don't cry"

Bi-ig girls do-on't cry-yi-yi (they don't cry)
Bi-ig girls do-on't cry-yi-yi (who said they don't cry?)

<brief instrumental interlude>

(May-y-be) I was cru-u-uel ( I was cruel)
Bay-y-be I'm a fool (I'm such a fool)

(Silly girl) "Shame on you" your mama said
(Silly girl) "you're cryin' in bed"
(Silly girl) "Shame on you, you told me lies"
Big girls do cry

Bi-ig girls do-on't cr-y-y (they don't cry)
Bi-ig girls do-on't cr-y-y (that's just an alibi)
Big girls cry
Big girls cry
Big girls cry
Big girls cry

FADE
Big girls cry
