"Cradle"
Written by Diana Meyer and Brian Blake
It’s been a long day
Headin' down the wrong way
I’m not a bitch but I don’t play
No I won’t sit still shut up
When did I become the mommy
You’re supposed to be the strong one
Standing up for you is no fun
No I won’t sit still shut up, shut up

Don’t say that you’re doing fine
Sittin’ in the back yard drunk on wine
Calling just to talk on a Friday night
To see if I’m 

Alright
I know you’re not 
Alright
So don’t put up a
Fight
No not tonight
I was once your baby girl
But now I cradle you so tight

I know that time will never erase
The wrinkles you have left on my face
I know for me you’d do the same
So I won’t sit still shut up 

I won’t say that I’m doing fine
Sittin’ in my back yard drunk on wine
Calling just to talk on a Friday night 
To see if you’re 

Alright
I know you’re not 
Alright
So don’t put up a
Fight
No not tonight
I was once your baby girl
But now I cradle you so tight

Taking care of me
Is taking care of you
You always carried me
So I will carry you through
You used to sing to me
So I will sing to you
A little lullaby to carry you through
A little lullaby to carry you through
Oh, a little lullaby, a little lullaby

Everything’s gonna be just fine
We’re sitting in your back yard drunk on wine
Hangin’ just to talk on a Friday night
To make sure you’re

Alright
I know the hurt that’s on your
Mind
You can’t put up a 
Fight
No not tonight
I was once your baby girl
But now I cradle you so tight
You can't put up a fight
No not tonight
I am still your baby girl
I’ll always cradle you so tight
