Move In A Little Closer Baby
Mama Cass Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And there's no place to hide
And you're needing a friend to be there
At your side
Send a message to me, I'll arrive and you'll see
Whether you're right or wrong
This is where you belong
Move in a little closer, baby
You've got to keep me closer, baby
Come in a little closer, baby
Together we can make it happen, wait and see
When your troubles arrive
Pouring down from the sky
And your feelings get down
And you don't know what to do
Give a holler to me, I'm the one that you need
Reach for my helping hand
Then you will understand
How super fine it can be
Move in a little closer, baby
You've got to keep me closer, baby
Come in a little closer, baby
Together we can make it happen, wait and see
Move in a little closer, baby
You've got to keep me closer, baby
Come in a little closer, baby
Together we can make it happen, wait and see
Move in a little closer, baby
You've got to keep me closer, baby
Come in a little closer, baby

If ever there was a song perfectly suited to Mama Cass, this was the one. Perfect. Here in the UK the hit version was recorded by Harmony Grass and I always thought theirs was the cover version, but it seems I was wrong, theirs was the first and Mama Cass covered it.

Thankyou Cass for your beautiful voice. We miss you.
@snowleaves

One of her most fun songs ❤.
@MrMjp58
She was at her best in this style of bouncy and up-beat pop IMO. She had the greatest tone and delivery imaginable.
One of those rare singers that transport one to a different world.
