about

Vicki Lawrence - "Mama's Gonna Make It All Better" - Track 1 from 1974's "Ships in the Night" LP. "Cameo," from the same LP, served as the single's Side-B. This was the second release from the LP, following 45 "Ships in the Night." Stateside Records in New Zealand put "Little Green Apples" (from 73's "Georgia" LP) on Side-B.

lyrics

Chorus:
Baby, baby, don’t you cry anymore
Mama’s gonna make it all better like before
Gonna wipe away your tears
Kiss away the pain
Mama’s gonna make it all better again

When I fell off the merry-go-round
And dropped my ice cream cone on the ground
Daddy bought me a rainbow balloon
But I let loose of the string too soon
I remember when ever I was hurt
Mama sang a little song and it always worked

Repeat Chorus

Now I’m grown up and left all alone
'Cause my best friend just broke up my home
People warned me, but I laughed at them
I couldn’t see she was after him
She’s just using me
I can’t believe he’s gone
As I cry myself to sleep I can hear this little song

Repeat Chorus
