"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 | Buy "Cradle" and more from Diana Meyer: |
