Cradle baby
Embracing Love Beyond Age
Lyrics
Well, they call you cradle baby
They commonly refer to you as a "cradle baby."
They say you're too young
People claim you are too young.
Oh, that yours is not real love
Others suggest that your love is not genuine.
You're just havin' fun
It's believed you're just enjoying yourself without serious commitment.
'Cause you're only sixteen
Being only sixteen years old.
And your life is not free
Despite your young age, your life is not carefree or unrestricted.
Well, they call you cradle baby
Despite the criticism, you are still known as a "cradle baby."
But you're just right for me
However, the speaker believes you are perfectly suitable for them.
So when I need a-lovin' and all of us do
When the speaker needs love, as everyone does,
l know that I'm a cookin', Well I'm a lookin' for you
They are actively seeking and looking for you.
Right back in the cradle
Despite societal expectations, the speaker wants you back in the cradle.
They say you should be
Indicating that others believe you should be in a more innocent or protected state.
Well, they call you cradle baby
Despite the criticisms, you are still known as a "cradle baby."
but you're just right for me
The speaker reiterates that you are just right for them.
Well, they call you cradle baby
Despite the judgments, you are still referred to as a "cradle baby."
Why don't they leave you alone
Questioning why others don't let you be.
They say your mama will worry
Concerns are raised about your mother worrying if you don't come home soon.
If you don't hurry home
Implying a sense of urgency to return home.
Just a-pay no attention
Advising not to pay attention to the concerns because everything is evident.
'Cause it's all there to see
Despite criticisms, it's emphasized that everything about you is clear to see.
Well, they call you cradle baby
Despite the labels, you are still known as a "cradle baby."
But you're just right for me
Reiterating that you are just right for the speaker.
