Everybody's got a different story
everybody wanna give thier selves away
but I'm still afraid
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

the world can be so cruel
but I will sing for you
this cradle song
all night long

everybody's got thier own opinion
everybody's got a place were they belong
like a favorite song
and I dont want to be a faded memory
I dont want to be the ghost that you cant shake
I want to be the real thing

the world can be so cruel
but I will sing for you
this cradle song
all night long

yeah all night long

yeah all night long

ohhhhhh, ohhhhhhhh, ohhhhhhh

no one said we were victims honey
no one said we had to keep the things we get
there aint no regrets
and all our friends, they moved to Hollywood
but we aint that desperate yet

oh no
aint nothing like the real thing

the world can be so cruel
well let me sing for you
this cradle song
all night long

the world can be so cruel
but I will sing for you
this cradle song
all night long

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
