Lyrics
In you is a life alone
Did not get there on his own
For a night...we united
Sink or swim we must decide to put our differences aside
I can't fight it...I've decided
Rock a-bye the games away...got no mo time to play
Gotta stand talla now...not a balla now
Rock a bye my baby's cries, neva have to wonder why
Daddy walked on by... sayin a Rock a bye
This life that we creat-ed
I know we shoulda wait-ed
But for a night...we united
I know I'm not yo wif-ey, but growin deep inside me
Is a life - changing me
Your Rock a bye will bring me pain... there are no words to explain
feeln smalla now...will he call her now
Your Rock a bye will make me weep, hear my baby - asking me
Why daddy walk - on by...sayin a Rock a bye
Rock a bye the guilt and shame; will my baby have a name?
He'll have my name, She'll have my name.
Rock a bye my baby's cries, he'll neva have to wonda why
I'm feelin smalla now...
I'm not a balla now...
Will he call her now
I'm standn talla now...I won't say Rock a Bye
Please don't (I won't) Rock a Bye
