(Intro)
Mama, just killed a man.
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead.
Mama, life had just begun.
But now I've gone and thrown it all away.
Too late, my time has come.
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time.
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go.
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.

(Chorus)
No big girls don't cry.
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry.
No big girls don't cry.
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry.

(Verse 1)
But I cry, sometimes.
And I hate the feeling but it has to come out.
Yeah I'm down, some nights.
But the truth aches, cause I know that.

(Chorus)
Big girls don't cry.
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry.
No big girls don't cry.
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry.

(Post-Chorus)
Mama, just killed a man.
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead.
Mama, life had just begun.
But now I've gone and thrown it all away.
Too late, my time has come.
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time.
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go.
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.

(Chorus)
No big girls don't cry.
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry.
No big girls don't cry.
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry.

(Verse 2)
But I cry, sometimes.
And my gut is hurting and I'm losing ground.
Yeah I'm down, some nights.
But it doesn't mean I'm breaking down.

(Chorus)
Cause big girls do cry.
They cry, they, oh they cry.
Yeah big girls will cry.
They cry, they cry.
When love has left them to die.
