Rockabye

She works at nights by the water

She's gone stress so far away

From my 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

Single mom, how're you doing out there?

Facing the hard life without no fear (yeah)

Just so you know that you really care

'Cause any obstacle come you're well prepared (oh, no)

No, mama, you never shed tear

'Cause you have to shed things year after year

And you give the youth love beyond compare (yeah)

You find his school fee and the bus fare (yeah)

Mmm, Marie, the pops' disappear

In the wrong bar, can't find him nowhere

Steadily you work flow, everything you know

So you nah stop, no time–no time for your jeer

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

Now she 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 is safe when she says...

"Ooh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love.

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
