Wretch 32 - Hush Little Baby Lyrics

Hush little baby, don't you cry
I said hush little baby, don't you cry
I said hush little baby, don't you cry, no
I said hush little baby, don't you cry

I'm saying hush little baby, don't you cry
Daddy ain't sure he can raise you right
I ain't even good with saving my money
Why should I think I could save your life?

The whole family's gonna think I'm a devil
'Cause I don't want to see my angel's eyes
I say this with one hand on my heart
Guilt ain't gonna make me change my mind

My first thoughts were my worst thoughts
Running through my head in circles
The world's gonna hate me for saying this
But patience is a virtue

So we don't have to rush for our first youth
We could take time, do rehearsals
And I ain't acting, this is personal
And I ain't doing this just to hurt you

I should say goodbye before I say hello
So darling, hold me closely tonight
Because if you open your eyes I'll never let you go
Moving slowly we'll both sleep tonight
And I'll just be dreaming till you wake me up

When I'm telling her about raving
She's telling me about cravings
I just want her to get the message
I don't want to have to be so blatant

So I told her my life ain't balanced
Yeah, so the time ain't right
She said God's clock's the only one that matters
And it's about time I tried

Yeah, and if I listen to my family
Then I'll be a new addition to my family
I can't help feeling peer pressured
Everyone's looking down but they don't understand me

And everyone's so suggestive
I'm getting mixed messages but nobody's rang me
Huh, I'm saying this ain't a game
But when I say the wrong thing everybody wants to hang me

I should say goodbye before I say hello
So darling, hold me closely tonight
Because if you open your eyes I'll never let you go
Moving slowly we'll both sleep tonight
And I'll just be dreaming till you wake me up

Hush little baby, don't you cry
I said hush little baby, don't you cry
I said hush little baby, don't you cry, no
I said hush little baby, don't you cry

I know I should say goodbye before I say hello
Darling, hold me closely tonight
Because if you open your eyes I'll never let you go
Moving slowly we'll both sleep tonight
And I'll be dreaming till you wake me up
