(Intro)
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
(Verse 1)
She works the
night,
by the
water
She’s gone
astray, 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)
(Pre-Chorus)
She tells him
”ooh, love,
no one’s ever gonna hurt
you, love
I’m gonna give you all of
my love
Nobody matters like
you”
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”
(Chorus)
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,
rock-a rock-a rockabye)
Rockabye,
(rockabye,
rock-a rock-a rockabye)
(Verse 2)
Single mama you
doing out there
Facing the hard life,
without no fear
Just so you know that
you really care
Cause
any obstacle come
you’re well prepared
And no mama, you
never shed tear
Cause
you have to set things
year and to year
And
you give the youth love
beyond compare
You find his school fee
and the bus fare
Mmm Marie, the
paps’ disappear
In the round back can’t
find him nowhere
Steadily you work flow,
everything you know
You know say you nuh stop the
time fi a jear
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
(Pre-Chorus)
When she says
”ooh, love,
no
one’s ever gonna hurt
you, love
I’m gonna give you all of
my love
Nobody matters like
you”
(Chorus)
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
Rocka
bye,
no
(rockabye,
rock-a rock-a rockabye)
Rocka
bye,
(rockabye,
rock-a rock-a rockabye)
Rockabye,
don’t but a cry
Lift up your head, lift it
up to the sky
Angels are wrong, you
just dry your eyes
(Verse 3)
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
(Pre-Chorus)
She tells him
”ooh, love,
no
one’s ever gonna hurt
you, love
I’m gonna give you all of
my love
Nobody matters like
you”
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”
(Chorus)
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
Rocka
bye (rockabye,
don’t but a cry.
Lift up your head, lift it
up to the sky)
Rocka
bye (rockabye,
don’t but a cry.
Angels are wrong, you
just dry your eyes)
Rocka
bye (rockabye,
don’t but a cry.
Lift up your head, lift it
up to the sky)
Rocka
bye (rockabye,
don’t but a cry.
Angels are wrong, you
just dry your eyes)
