cradle baby

well

they call you cradle baby

they say you're too young

oh

that yours is not real love

you're just havin' fun

'cause you're only sixteen

and your life is not free

well

they call you cradle baby

but you're just right for me

so when i need a-lovin'

and all of us do

l know that i'm a cookin'

well

i'm a lookin' for you

right back in the cradle

they say you should be

well

they call you cradle baby

but you're just right for me

well

they call you cradle baby

why don't they leave you alone?

they say your mama will worry

if you don't hurry home

just a-pay no attention

'cause it's all there to see

well

they call you cradle baby

but you're just right for me
