Full Lyrics
Rockabye baby
Rockabye baby
Rockabye baby
Rockabye baby
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
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"
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
Single mama 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)
And 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 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
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
(Oh-badda-bang-bang-bang, alright then)
Rockabye
Rockabye baby
Rockabye baby
Rockabye baby
Rockabye baby
Rockabye baby
