Clean Bandit - Rockabye ft. Sean Paul & Anne-Marie

Il testo

Call it love and devotion
Call it the mom’s adoration (foundation)
A special bond of creation, hah
For all the single mums out there
Going through frustration
Clean Bandit, Sean-Da-Paul, Anne-marie, sing, make them hear

She works the night, 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 “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 gonna 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)

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

[Verse 2]
Am              F
Single mama you doing out there
G                     Em
Facing the hard life, without no fear
Am                    F
Just so you know that you really care
      G                 Em
Cause any obstacle come you’re well prepared
Am               F
And no mama, you never shed tear 
      G                      Em
Cause you have to set things year and to year
    Am                      F
And you give the youth love beyond compare
G                       Em
You find his school fee and the bus fare
Am             F
Mmm Marie, the paps' disappear
G                       Em
In the round back can’t find him nowhere
Am                      F
Steadily you work flow, everything you know
G                             Em
You know say you nuh stop the time fi a jear

Am                       F
Now she gotta a six year old
          G 
Trying to keep him warm
Em                     Am
Trying to keep out the cold
        F
When he looks in her eyes
G                  Em
He don't know he's safe


[Pre-Chorus]
               Am         F                        G   
When she says "ooh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love
Em                        Am
I'm gonna give you all of my love
F                   G      Em
Nobody matters like you"

Angels are wrong, you just dry your eyes
