Tiffany Alvord - Rockabye lyrics

Call it love and devotion
Call it a mom’s adoration foundation
A special bond of creation, hah
For all the single moms out there
Going through frustration
Clean Bandit, Sean da-Paul, Anne-Marie
Sing,  make them hear

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 (Daily struggle)

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"
(Stay out there, stay out there)



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"
(Stay out there, stay out there)

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-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye
(Rockabye, yeah oh oh)
Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye

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

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 "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, no

Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye
(Rockabye, yeah oh oh)
Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye

Rockabye, don't bother cry
Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Angels surround you, just dry your eye

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, "Oh, love, no
One's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you"
(Stay out there, stay out there)

She tells him, "Your life ain't gonna be
Nothing like my life (stay)
You're gonna grow and have a good life
I'm gonna do what I've got to do"
(Stay out there, stay out there)

So, rockabye baby, rockabye
(Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye)
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
(Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye)
Somebody's got you rockabye baby, rockabye
(Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye)
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
(Oh badda bang bang bang, alright then)
Rockabye

Rockabye, don't bother cry
Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky
(Rockabye) rockabye, don't bother cry (yeah)
Angels surround you, just dry your eye (yeah)

Rockabye, don't bother cry (No)
Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky (Oh)
Rockabye, don't bother cry
Angels surround you, just dry your eye
