Well rock the cradle of love
Rock the cradle of love
Yes the cradle of love don't rock easily It's true
Well rock the cradle of love
I rocked the cradle of love
Yes the cradle of love don't rock easily It's true
Well now

When the rebel took a little child bride
To tease yeah so go easy yeah
Cause love cutts a million ways
Shakes the devil when he missbehaves
I ain't nobody's fool
Come on shake it up
Whatever I do
Rock the cradle of love

I do believe this song is about Jerry Lee Lewis. He married his cousin, Myra Gale Brown, when she was only 13.
These lyrics seem to suggest that anyway, see:
It burned like a ball of fire (one of JLL's most popular songs)
When the rebel took a little child bride (when he rocked the world by marrying Myra)
To tease yeah so go easy yeah
But nonetheless, it's one of my more favorite songs by Billy Idol. And I mean that video...wow! i don't really think about JLL when I hear the song either.
I'm not sure what the song is about myself.. but that would make a lot of sense.

The famous Billy Idol song
Cradle of Love'', also known byRock The Cradle of Love'' is almost more famous for its video than for its lyrics. The 1990 smash hit off of the Charmed Life album was Idol's first and only #1 single, and is still considered legendary in the rock pantheon. However, it wasn't a song written about equal affections between two lovers.Instead, the song address something was quite novel in its day, but has since become mainstream. The song title came from the expression ``robbing the cradle'', an allusion to lovers of uneven ages dating each other. It was controversial and sexy in 1990, but now that cougars are a mainstream reality TV feature it seems much less scandalous.
Nevertheless, the song addresses the challenges of such a relationship squarely, while still keeping the music sultry and hot. Though the male character seems to be resisting on one hand, on the other hand he is encouraging the much younger woman to continue to tease and taunt him. In the end, he decides that although the relationship will be difficult ``love comes a million ways'' and he will embrace the relationship for as long as he can.
For all of you stupid people who don't understand the meaning of the lyrics of this song.....
I will explain to all of you.
The song is in fact about a small child. While he is rocking in his cradle he slowly starts to grow. Initially he is not very strong, but during the cradling he becomes stronger and stronger and harder and harder. At the finish, the child is burning and doesn't want to stop cradling, but his strength is coming to an end. But he doesn't want to surrender and he tries and he tries to persevere. BUT he is not satisfied with the situation and he struggles to become rocknroll2.
