Rockabye

She works at nights, 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

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 gon' 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, ooh-ooh

Rockabye, yeah, ooh

She found her love way too early

He left her there with more then tears and hurt to carry

They said, "Too young

What are thinking?"

They told her, "Choose"

She chose to use her heart and keep him

Now she's got 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, "Ooh, 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, ooh-ooh

Rockabye, yeah, ooh

Rockabye

Rockabye

Now she's got 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, "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 gon' be nothing like my life

You're gonna grow and have a good life

I'm gonna do what I've got to do"

Yeah

So, rockabye, baby, rockabye

I'm gonna rock you

Rockabye, baby, don't you cry

Somebody's got you

Rockabye, baby, rockabye
