Lyrics

Rachel:
Ladadada,
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

Kurt:
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

Blaine:
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

Rachel and Blaine with Kurt:
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry

Rachel:
The path that I'm walkin', I must go alone
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown
Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay

Kurt:
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do

Rachel and Blaine:
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

Kurt:
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 mine Valentine

Blaine and Kurt:
Yes, you can hold my hand if you want to

Blaine:
'Cause I want to hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers
And share our secret worlds

Rachel:
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, yeah

Kurt:
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

Rachel and Blaine:
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

Rachel and Blaine with Kurt:
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry

Trivia

This is the only song of the episode to be sung by both boys and girls.
The song was slightly different in the episode with Kurt's voice being clearer. Much like Santana's last solo part in We Are Young in the episode Hold on to Sixteen.
Just like in the first prom episode someone joined her while singing in the auditorium.
Adam Anders put Klaine parts in the song even if they weren't in the script. Source
