| "Waterfalls" by TLC Lonely mother gazing out of the window Staring at a son that she just can't touch If at anytime he's in a jam She'll be by his side But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much But all the praying just ain't helpin' at all 'Cuz he can't seem to keep himself out of trouble So he goes out and he makes he's money the best Ways he knows how Another body laying cold in the gutter Listen to me Don't go chasing waterfalls Please stick to the rivers and the lakes That you're used I know that you're gonna have it your way Or nothing at all But I think you're moving too fast Little precious has a natural obsession For temptation but he just can't see She gives him lovin' that his body can't handle But all he can say is baby it's good to me One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror But he doesn't recognize his own face His health is fading and he doesn't know why Three letters took him to his final resting place Y'all don't hear me Don't go chasing waterfalls Please stick to the rivers and the lakes That you're used I know that you're gonna have it your way Or nothing at all But I think you're moving too Come on I seen a rainbow yesterday But too many storms have come and gone Leaving a trace of not one God-given ray They say because my life is ten shades of gray I pray all Ten fade away Seldom thankful for the sunny days And like my promise is true Only my faith can undo The many chances I blew To bring my life to anew Clear blue and unconditional Skies have dried the tears from my eyes No more lonely cries My only bleeding hope Is for the folk who can't cope With such an enduring pain That it leaves them in the pouring rain Who's to blame for shootin' 'caine into their own veins? What a shame they shoot and aim for someone else's brain You claim the insane And name this day and time For falling prey to crime I say this system got you victim to your own mind Hopes and dreams and aspirations In hopes of coming true Believe in yourself The rest is up to me and you Don't go chasing waterfalls Please stick to the rivers and the lakes That you're used I know that you're gonna have it your way Or nothing at all But I think you're moving too fast |
