Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Big and scary, drowned to get into your head
Don't worry 'cause daddy is here
And he ain't gonna let no monsters come near
Yes, hush little baby, don't you cry
'Cause daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
Yes, hush little baby, don't you cry
'Cause love can be scary sometimes
That doesn't seem until you have reason or rhyme
And trust in me 'cause daddy is near
And if I am, I am for you then whom shall you fear
Yes, hush little baby, don't you cry
'Cause daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
Yes, hush little baby, don't you cry
'Cause daddy's gonna wipe them tears from out, out of your eyes
Yes, hush little baby, don't you cry
'Cause daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
Yes, hush little baby, don't you cry
'Cause daddy's gonna wipe those
Yes, daddy's gonna wipe those
Yes, daddy's gonna wipe those
Yes, daddy's gonna wipe those
Yes, daddy's gonna wipe those
Yes, daddy's gonna wipe those
Yes, daddy's gonna wipe them tears from out of your eyes
