[VERS 1[

Everybody's got a different story

 Everybody wanna give their selves away

 But I'm still afraid

If we can stay out of their field of vision

 If we can keep ourselves a half a world away

 Ah honey we'll be ok

Chorus

 The world can be so cruel But I will sing for you

 This cradle song All night long

[VERS 2]

Everybody's got their own opinion

 Everybody's got a place where they belong

 Like a favorite song

I don't want to be a faded memory

 I don't want to be the ghost that you can't shake

 I want to be the real thing

Chorus

 The world can be so cruel But I will sing for you

 This cradle song All night long

Solo

 Yeah all night long yeah all night long oh, oh, oh

[VERS 3]

No one said that we were victims honey

 No one said we had to keep the things we get

 And there ain't no regrets

And all our friends, they moved to Hollywood

  But we ain't that desperate yet, oh no

 ain't nothing like the real thing

 The world can be so cruel And let me sing to you

 This cradle song All night long

Chorus

 The world can be so cruel But I will sing for you

 This cradle song All night long

Outro

 This cradle song, this cradle song

Yeah all night long Sing it all night long

Yeah all night long Sing it all night long

Yeah, yeah All night long Oooooh
