Rockabye Lyrics

Call it love and devotion
Call it the mom's adoration (foundation)
A special bond of creation, hah
For all the single mums out there going through frustration
Clean Bandit, Sean-da-Paul, Anne-Marie
Sing, make them hear

She works the nights, by the water
She's gonna stress, so far away
From her father's daughter
She just wants a life for her baby
All on her own, no one will come
She's got to save him (daily struggle)

She tells him "oh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you"
(Stay out there, stay out there)

She tells him "your life ain't gonna be nothing like my life
You're gonna grow and have a good life
I'm gonna do what I've got to do"
(Stay out there, stay out there)

So, Rockabye baby, Rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye baby, Rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Rockabye, no (Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye)
Rockabye, yeah (Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye)

Single mama you doing out there?
Facing the hard life, without no fear (yeah)
Just see and know that you really care
Cause any obstacle come you're well prepared (oh no)

And no mama, you never shed tear
Cause you have to set things year after year
And you give the youth love beyond compare (yeah)
You find his school fee and the bus fare (yeah)

Mmm More when paps disappear
In a wrong bar can't find him nowhere
Steadily you work flow, heavily you know so
You nah stop no time no time fi a jeer

Now she gotta a six-year-old
Trying to keep him warm
Trying to keep out the cold
When he looks her in the eyes
He don't know he's safe

When she says "oh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you"

So, Rockabye baby, Rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye baby, Rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Rockabye, no (Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye)
Rockabye, yeah (Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye)

Rockabye, don't bother cry
Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky yo
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Head just around you, just dry your eye

Now she gotta a six year old
Trying to keep him warm
Trying to keep out the cold
When he looks in her eyes
He don't know he's safe when she says

She tells him "oh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you"
(Stay out there, stay out there)

She tells him "your life ain't gonna be nothing like my life
You're gonna grow and have a good life
I'm gonna do what I've got to do"

So, Rockabye baby, Rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye baby, Rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry

Rockabye - Rockabye, don't bother cry
Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky yo
Rockabye - Rockabye, don't bother cry
Head just around you, just dry your eye
Rockabye - Rockabye, don't bother cry
Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky yo
Rockabye - Rockabye, don't bother cry
