Cradle Rock lyrics

Performed by: The Heartbreakers<br />
<br />
Rock a bye, Baby,<br />
On the tree-top.<br />
When the wind blows,<br />
The cradle will rock.<br />
When the bow breaks,<br />
The cradle will fall.<br />
So down, down, down, down...<br />
Down will come Baby,<br />
Cradle and all.<br />
<br />
I gave you my kisses<br />
Right from the start.<br />
I gave you my true love,<br />
For I wasn't smart.<br />
But you took advantage<br />
And broke my heart.<br />
An' down, down, down, down...<br />
Down went my soul<br />
An' you threw away my heart.<br />
<br />
Don't make me cry for you.<br />
Don't make me die for you.<br />
I never thought it'd be like this.<br />
But in the end you see,<br />
You took the best of me.<br />
So down with all...<br />
Down came my heart.<br />
<br />
You learned to love me<br />
Much too late.<br />
Offered me kisses<br />
I wouldn't take.<br />
When the wind blew,<br />
You saw me fall.<br />
So down, down, down, down<br />
Down will come Baby,<br />
Cradle and all.<br />
<br />
