TLC - Waterfall (A Capella) Lyrics
"Waterfall"
A lonely mother gazing out of her windowStaring at a son that she just can't touchIf at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his sideBut he doesn't realize he hurts her so muchBut all the praying just ain't helping at all'Cause he can't seem to keep his self out of troubleSo, he goes out and he makes his money the best way he know howAnother body laying cold in the gutterListen to meDon't go chasing waterfallsPlease stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used toI know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at allBut I think you're moving too fastLittle precious has a natural obsession for temptationBut he just can't seeShe give him loving that his body can't handleBut all he can say is, "Baby, it's good to me"One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirrorBut he doesn't recognize his own faceHis health is fading and he doesn't know whyThree letters took him to his final resting placeY'all don't hear meDon't go chasing waterfallsPlease stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used toI know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at allBut I think you're moving too fastI seen a rainbow yesterdayBut too many storms have come and goneLeavin' a trace of not on God-given rayIs it because my life is ten shades of grayI pray all ten fade awaySeldom praise Him for the sunny daysAnd like his promise is trueOnly my faith can undoThe many chances I blewTo bring my life to anewClear blue and unconditional skiesHave dried the tears from my eyesNo more lonely criesMy only bleedin' hopeIs for the folk who can't copeWit such an endurin' painThat it keeps 'em in the pourin' rainWho's to blameFor tootin' caine in your own veinWhat a shameYou shoot and aim for someone else's brainYou claim the insaneAnd name this day in timeFor fallin prey to crimeI say the system got you victim to your own mindDreams are hopeless aspirationsIn hopes of comin' trueBelieve in yourselfThe rest is up to me and youDon't go chasing waterfallsPlease stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used toI know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at allBut I think you're moving too fastDon't go chasing waterfallsPlease stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used toI know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at allBut I think you're moving too fast
