Rockabye (feat. Sean Paul & Anne-Marie) Lyrics

[00:00.81] Call it love and devotion
[00:03.28] Call it a mom's adoration (foundation)
[00:06.07] A special bond of creation, hah
[00:09.69] For all the single moms out there, going through frustration
[00:13.65] Clean Bandit, Sean-da-Paul, Anne-Marie
[00:16.29] Sing, make them hear
[00:17.63] She works at nights, by the water
[00:21.96] She's gone astray, so far away
[00:24.67] From her father's daughter
[00:27.02] She just wants a life for her baby
[00:31.55] All on her own, no one will come
[00:34.55] She's got to save him (daily struggle)
[00:36.94] She tells him, "Ooh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love"
[00:40.88] "I'm gonna give you all of my love"
[00:43.35] "Nobody matters like you" (stay up there, stay up there)
[00:46.60] She tells him, "Your life ain't gon' be nothing like my life" (straight!)
