In the Cradle

In the Cradle Lyrics

What is the meaning
The definition of "hook up"? (come on)
Are you together?
Lovin' each other?
You never know

Cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little girl blue and the man on the moon
So when you're coming home?
Hey yo, I don't know when (hey yo, I don't know when)
We'll get together then

It's kinda hard when you're away
No days go by without me thinking about you
'Cause you promised yesterday, that you call
What was up with that, are you tryin' to ignore me?

I need to talk to you so I can be sure
That you're never mislead and you'll never be cold yeah
Baby, won't you tell me, when you're comin' home
Just pick up the phone cause I miss you crazy!

Cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little girl blue and the man on the moon
So when you're coming home?
Hey yo, I don't know when
We'll get together then

Aha, yeah
You know we gonna hook up then!
I said you know we gonna hook up then!

Uh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Uh, yeah-yeah-yeah
I know I told you yesterday, I'd be back
All I gotta say is "baby, I'm sorry"
'Cause I'm working night and day, it's damn hard
Tryin' to pay the bills and keep everyone happy

The pressure that I'm feelin' from my foes, goes
From the top of your head right down to my toes
Infos to those who don't need to know
Jack, step up!
Now let them all take a step back

Cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little girl blue and the man on the moon (man on the moon)
So when you're coming home?
Hey yo, I don't know when
We'll get together then

Aha, yeah
You know we gonna hook up then!
I said you know we gonna hook up then!

Uh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Home girl, I gotta say
Who pays the bills, the deals and
All the bad news?
Life is nice
Livin' in luxury
Is this the way it's gotta be?

Fact is you are the center of my business
Practice is a thug that'd be relaxing
And if I'm far away from home don't want you struggling
You're the girl I wanna be with!

You gotta breathe a minute just relax
'Cause you're makin' me feel like I'm guilty of something
Baby can't you see when I'm away from home
That I feel alone and I miss you crazy!

Cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little girl blue and the man on the moon (man on the moon)
So when you're coming home?
Hey yo, I don't know when
We'll get together then

Aha, yeah
You know we gonna hook up then!
I said you know we gonna hook up then!

Cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little girl blue and the man on the moon (man on the moon)
So when you're coming home?
Hey yo, I don't know when
We'll get together then

(Bro'Sis)
You know we gonna hook up then!
I said you know we gonna hook up then!
