Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well rock the cradle of love
Rock the cradle of love
Yes the cradle of love
Don't rock easily
It's true
[Verse 2]
Well rock the cradle of love
I rocked the cradle of love
Yes the cradle of love
Don't rock easily
It's true, well now
[Verse 3]
It burned like a ball of fire
When the rebel took a little child bride
To tease, yeah, so go easy, yeah, ow
[Verse 4]
'Cause love cuts a million ways
Shakes the devil when he misbehaves
I ain't nobody's fool
Come on, shake it up
Whatever I do
[Verse 5]
Rock the cradle of love
Woo, rock the cradle of love
Yes, the cradle of love
Don't rock easily
It's true
I was sent from heaven above
That's right
To rock the cradle of love
Yes, the cradle of love
Don't talk teasely, it's true
Yeah, ow
[Verse 6]
Yes, flesh for your Romeo
Ah yeah, baby, I hear you moan
It's easy
You know how to please me, yeah, ow
'Cause love starts my rollin' train
You can't stop me, it ain't in vain
I ain't nobody's fool
Come on, shake it up
Whatever I do
[Verse 7]
How, ooh
These are the wages of love
I know rock the cradle of love
These are the wages of love
Ooh, yeah
Rock the cradle
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 8]
Well it burned like a ball on fire
When the rebel took a little child bride
To tease, yeah, so go easy, yeah, ow
[Verse 9]
Well my love stops the rollin' train
You can't stop it
It ain't in vain
I ain't nobody's fool
Come on, shake it up
Whatever I do
[Verse 10]
Rock the cradle of love
Rock the cradle of love
Sent from heaven above
That's right
To rock the cradle of love
Wow
Rock the cradle of love
It's the cradle of love
That's me mama
I robbed the devil of love, alright
Cradle of love, ow
If you tease me tonight (Rock the cradle of love)
If you sleaze me all right (Rock the cradle of love)
If you please me tonight (Rock the cradle of love)
It may ease me, yeah, ow
[Verse 11]
Rock the cradle of love
Cradle of love
Alright
(Rock the cradle of love)
Cradle of love
Whoa
