[00:00.00]Waterfalls - TLC
[00:17.27]Written by:Organized Noize/Marqueze Ethridge/Lisa"Left Eye"
[00:34.55]A lonely mother gazing out of the window
[00:38.61]Staring at her son that she just can't touch
[00:43.64]If at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side
[00:49.19]But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
[00:56.62]But all the praying just ain't helping at all
[01:00.92]Cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble
[01:05.88]So he goes out and he makes his money the best way he knows how
[01:11.76]Another body laying cold in the gutter
[01:16.72]Listen to me
[01:18.64]Don't go chasing waterfalls
[01:22.69]Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[01:28.30]I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[01:33.87]But I think you're moving too fast
[01:41.87]Little precious has a natural obsession for temptation
[01:47.03]But he just can't see
[01:52.59]She gives him loving that his body can't handle
[01:57.07]But all he can say is baby it's good to me
[02:03.86]One day he goes and take a glimpse in the mirror
[02:08.52]But he doesn't recognize his own face
[02:14.69]His health is fading and he doesn't know why
[02:19.07]Three letters took him to his final resting place
[02:23.16]Y'all don't hear me
[02:25.74]Don't go chasing waterfalls
[02:29.70]Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[02:35.41]I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[02:40.98]But I think you're moving too fast
[02:48.20]Don't go chasing waterfalls
[02:52.17]Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[02:57.62]I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[03:03.40]But I think you're moving too fast
[03:08.55]Come on
[03:10.33]I seen a rainbow yesterday but too many storms have come and gone
[03:13.86]Leaving a trace of not one God given ray
[03:16.11]Is it because my life is ten shades of gray
[03:18.63]I pray all ten fade away
[03:19.76]Seldom praise him for the sunny days
[03:21.66]And like his promise is true
[03:23.07]Only my faith can undo the many chances
[03:25.33]I blew to bring my life to anew
[03:27.17]Clear and blue and unconditional skies
[03:29.48]Have dried the tears from my eyes
[03:31.00]No more lonely cries
[03:32.54]My only bleeding hope
[03:33.57]Is for the folk who can't cope with such an enduring pain
[03:36.54]That it keeps them in the pouring rain
[03:38.48]Who's to blame for tooting 'caine into your own vein
[03:41.11]What a shame you shoot and aim for someone else's brain
[03:43.82]You claim the insane
[03:44.89]And name this day in time
[03:46.14]For falling prey to crime
[03:47.11]I say the system's got you victim to your own mind
[03:49.45]Dreams are hopeless aspirations in hopes of coming true
[03:52.84]Believe in yourself the rest is up to me and you
[03:55.07]Don't go chasing waterfalls
[03:59.13]Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[04:04.69]I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[04:10.33]But I think you're moving too fast
[04:17.64]Don't go chasing waterfalls
[04:21.48]Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[04:27.12]I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[04:33.11]But I think you're moving too fast
