"Waterfalls"
[00:34.10] [T-Boz]
[00:34.10] A lonely mother gazing out of the window
[00:38.17] Staring at a son that she just can't touch
[00:43.23] If at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side
[00:48.81] But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
[00:56.25] But all the praying just ain't helping at all
[01:00.24] 'Cause he can't seem to keep himself out of trouble
[01:05.61] So he goes out and he makes his money the best way he knows how
[01:11.47] Another body laying cold in the gutter
[01:16.05] Listen to me
[01:18.18] [T-Boz & TLC]
[01:18.18] Don't go chasing waterfalls
[01:22.42] Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[01:28.00] I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[01:33.58] But I think you're moving too fast
[01:41.30] [T-Boz]
[01:41.30] Little precious has a natural obsession for temptation
[01:46.91] But he just can't see
[01:51.95] She gives him loving that his body can't handle
[01:56.47] But all he can say is, "Baby, it's good to me"
[02:03.15] One day, he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
[02:07.68] But he doesn't recognize his own face
[02:14.30] His health is fading, and he doesn't know why
[02:18.56] Three letters took him to his final resting place
[02:22.93] Y'all don't hear me
[02:25.09] [T-Boz & TLC, Chilli]
[02:25.09] Don't go chasing waterfalls
[02:29.34] Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[02:34.93] I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all (Your way or no way)
[02:40.55] But I think you're moving too fast
[02:47.45] Don't go chasing waterfalls
[02:51.70] Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[02:57.28] I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[03:02.86] But I think you're moving too fast
[03:08.16] [Left Eye]
[03:08.16] Come on!
[03:10.06] I seen a rainbow yesterday, but too many storms
[03:13.02] Have come and gone, leaving a trace of not one God-given ray
[03:15.71] Is it because my life is ten shades of gray, I pray
[03:18.36] All ten fade away, seldom praise Him for the sunny days
[03:21.29] And like His promise is true, only my faith can undo
[03:24.01] The many chances I blew to bring my life to anew
[03:26.98] Clear blue and unconditional skies
[03:29.14] Have dried the tears from my eyes, no more lonely cries
[03:32.15] My only bleeding hope is for the folk who can't cope
[03:34.54] With such an endurin' pain that it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
[03:38.00] Who's to blame for tooting 'caine into your own vein?
[03:40.99] What a shame, you shoot and aim for someone else's brain
[03:43.37] You claim the insane, and name this day in time
[03:45.54] For falling prey to crime
[03:46.35] I say the system's got you victim to your own mind
[03:49.29] Dreams are hopeless aspirations in hopes of coming true
[03:52.53] Believe in yourself, the rest is up to me and you
[03:54.72] [T-Boz & TLC, Chilli]
[03:54.72] Don't go chasing waterfalls
[03:58.77] Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[04:04.37] I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[04:09.95] But I think you're moving too fast (Ooh, you're movin' too fast)
[04:16.89] Don't go chasing waterfalls
[04:21.16] Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[04:26.74] I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[04:32.32] But I think you're movin' too fast
