Cradle of Love
Billy Idol Lyrics

Well, ow, rock the cradle of love
Let's begin by enjoying some love-making.

Rock the cradle of love Yes, the cradle of love don't rock easily it's true
The act of lovemaking requires effort, and it's something that needs to be approached with patience and caution.

Well, now It burned like a ball of fire When the rebel took a little child bride To tease yeah, so go easy yeah, ow
The passion between the singer and his partner burns with an intense force, which they both enjoy but also need to be careful with.

'Cause love cuts a million ways Shakes the devil when he misbehaves I ain't nobody's fool Come on, shake it up Whatever I do, ow
The power of love can be overwhelming and can affect people in different ways; the artist is confident that he can handle it and is ready to shake things up.

Sent from heaven above, that's right To rob the cradle of love Yes, the pages of love Don't talk decently it's true, yeah ow
