Call it love and devotion

Call it a mom's adoration

Foundation

A special bond of creation,

Ha

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 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

Daily struggle

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."

Stay out there, stay out there

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."

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

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 pops' disappear

In the round back can't find him nowhere

Steadily you work flow, everything you know

Say you nah stop no time – no time for your 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, "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

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, "Ooh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love.

I'm gonna give you all of my love.
