Rockabye Lyrics by Clean Bandit ft. Sean Paul

[Intro: Sean Paul]
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
Goin' through frustration
Clean Bandit, Sean da Paul
Anne-Marie, sing, make them hear

[Verse 1: Anne-Marie & Sean Paul]
She works the 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: Anne-Marie & Sean Paul]
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 up there, stay up there)
She tells him, "Your life
Ain't gon' be nothin' 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
Rockabye

[Post-Chorus: Sean Paul & Anne-Marie]
(No, oh)
Rockabye, rocka-rocka-rockabye
(Rockabye, yeah, yeah)
Rockabye, rocka-rocka-rockabye

[Verse 2: Sean Paul & Anne-Marie]
Single mom, how you doin' out there?
Facing the hard life without no fear (Yeah)
Just so you know that you really care (Uh)
'Cause any obstacle come, you're well prepared (Oh no)
And no, mama, you never shed tear
'Cause you haffi 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)
Mm, already pops disappear
Inna rum bar, can't find him nowhere
Steadily your work flow heavily, you know
So you nah stop, no time, no time for ya dear

[Refrain: Anne-Marie]
Now she got a six-year-old
Tryin' to keep him warm
Tryin' to keep out the cold
When he looks in her eyes
He don't know he is safe when she says

[Pre-Chorus: Anne-Marie]
"Ooh, 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

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

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

[Refrain: Anne-Marie]
