TLC - Waterfalls
[00:33.91] A lonely mother gazing out of her window
[00:38.17] Staring at a son that she just can't touch
[00:43.22] If at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side
[00:48.53] But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
[00:55.96] But all the praying just ain't helping at all
[01:00.21] 'Cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble
[01:05.52] So, he goes out, and he makes his money the best way he know how
[01:11.64] Another body laying cold in the gutter
[01:16.15] Listen to me
[01:18.02] Don't go chasing waterfalls
[01:21.99] Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[01:27.57] I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[01:33.42] But I think you're moving too fast
[01:41.38] Little precious has a natural obsession
[01:45.37] For temptation, but he just can't see
[01:52.28] She give him loving that his body can't handle
[01:56.52] But all he can say is, "Baby, it's good to me"
[02:03.16] One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
[02:07.95] But he doesn't recognize his own face
[02:14.32] His health is fading and he doesn't know why
[02:18.56] Three letters took him to his final resting place
[02:23.35] Y'all don't hear me
[02:25.20] Don't go chasing waterfalls
[02:29.21] Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[02:34.50] I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[02:40.34] But I think you're moving too fast
[02:47.26] Don't go chasing waterfalls
[02:51.51] Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[02:57.35] I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[03:02.67] But I think you're moving too fast (come on)
[03:10.11] I seen a rainbow yesterday
[03:11.96] But too many storms have come and gone
[03:13.82] Leavin' a trace of not on God-given ray
[03:15.95] Is it because my life is ten shades of gray
[03:18.34] I pray all ten fade away
[03:19.67] Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
[03:21.26] And like his promise is true
[03:23.11] Only my faith can undo
[03:24.17] The many chances I blew
[03:25.50] Will it bring my life to anew
[03:26.84] Clear blue and unconditional skies
[03:28.96] Have dried the tears from my eyes
[03:30.82] No more lonely cries
[03:32.16] My only bleedin' hope is for the folk who can't cope
[03:34.54] Wit' such an endurin' pain
[03:36.13] That it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
[03:38.00] Who's to blame for tootin' cane in your own vein
[03:40.11] What a shame
[03:41.70] You shoot and aim for someone else's brain
[03:43.57] You claim the insane and name this day in time
[03:45.17] For fallin' prey to crime
[03:45.96] I say the system got you victim to your own mind
[03:48.34] Dreams are hopeless aspirations
[03:51.27] In hopes of comin' true
[03:52.60] Believe in yourself
[03:53.67] The rest is up to me and you
[03:54.73] Don't go chasing waterfalls
[03:58.44] Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[04:04.02] I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[04:09.60] But I think you're moving too fast (oh, you're moving)
[04:16.77] Don't go chasing waterfalls
[04:20.79] Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[04:26.08] I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[04:31.93] But I think you're moving too fast
