Skeeter Davis - Mama Your Big Girl's 'Bout to Cry lyrics

rate me

(Skeeter Davis)

Mama mama I need your help today

Mama mama is there something you can say

You used to kiss the hurt away and brush the teardrops from my eyes

Now mama your big girl's 'bout to cry.

Mama he owned my heart and he possessed my soul

But then he wanted someone else he asked me to let him go

And every promise he made me turned out to be a lie

Mama your big girl's 'bout to cry.

When I was just a little girl I'd hurt myself at play

And then you'd take me on your lap and kiss the hurt away.

Now mama I've got more hurt than my poor heart can take

Mama mama do something for my sake

Tell me what I'm gonna do without him by my side

Mama your big girl's 'bout to cry.

Oh mama, your big girl's 'bout to cry...
