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
Cah 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 the worst thoughts
Running 'round 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 yute
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
And I'll just be dreaming 'til you wake me up

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

When I'm telling her about raving
She's telling me about cravings
I want her to just get the message
I don't wanna have to be so blatant
So I told her my life ain't balanced, yeah
Said 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
Everybody's looking down but they don't understand me, yeah

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

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
