Letra de 'Rockabye' de Alexander Stewart

She works the nights by the water
She's gone astray 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
Rockabye, no

Rockabye, yeah, oh, oh

Single mama, what are 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 shed things year after year
And you give the youth love beyond compare
You find his school fee and the bus fare

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
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

Rockabye yeahhh oooo
rockabye yeaahh ooo

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

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

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
