Rockabye lyrics

[Intro: Sean Paul]

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

[Verse 1: Anne-Marie & Sean Paul]

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 (Daily struggle)

[Pre-Chorus 1: Anne-Marie & Sean Paul]

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 up there, stay up there!)

She tells him, "Your life ain't gon' be nothing like my life." (Straight!)

"You're gonna grow and have a good life."

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

(Stay up there, stay up there!)

[Chorus: Anne-Marie]

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

Ah, rockabye, no

[Post-Chorus 1: Sean Paul & Anne-Marie]

Rockabye, rocka-rocka-rocka-bye

(Rockabye, yeah, yeah)

Rockabye, rocka-rocka-rocka-bye

[Verse 2: Sean Paul & Anne-Marie, Both]

Single mum, 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!)

And no, mama, you never shed tear

'Cause you have to shed things year after year (Na, na, na, na)

And you give the yout love beyond compare (Yeah!)

You find his school fee and the bus fare (Yeah!)

Mh, all when di pops disappear

Inna rum bar, can't find him nowhere

Steadily your workflow, heavily you know

So your non-stop, no time, no time for ya dear

[Bridge: Anne-Marie]

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

[Pre-Chorus 2: Anne-Marie]

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."

[Chorus: Anne-Marie & Sean Paul]

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

(Badda-bang-bang-bang, alright then)

Ah, rockabye, no

[Post-Chorus 2: Sean Paul & Anne-Marie]

Rockabye, rocka-rocka-rocka-bye

(Rockabye, yeah, yeah)

Rockabye, rocka-rocka-rocka-bye

Rockabye, don't bother cry

Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky, yo

Rockabye, don't bother cry

Angels surround you, just dry your eye

[Bridge: Anne-Marie]

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

[Pre-Chorus 1: Anne-Marie & Sean Paul]

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 up there, stay up there!)

She tells him, "Your life ain't gon' be nothing like my life." (Straight!)

"You're gonna grow and have a good life."

"I'm gonna do what I got to do.", yeah

[Chorus: Anne-Marie & Sean Paul]

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

(Badda-bang-bang-bang, alright then)

Ah, rockabye

[Post-Chorus 3: Sean Paul & Anne-Marie]

Rockabye, don't bother cry

Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky (Ah, Rockabye!)

Rockabye, don't bother cry (Yeah!)

Angels surround you, just dry your eye (Yeah, ah, rockabye!)

Rockabye, don't bother cry (No!)

Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky (Oh, Rockabye!)

Rockabye, don't bother cry

Angels surround you, just dry your eye
