Waterfalls (made popular by TLC) [vocal version]

A lonely mother gazing out of her window staring at a son that she just can't

Touch

If at any time he's in a jam she'll be by your side

But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much

But all the praying just ain't helping at all

Cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble

So he goes out and he makes his

Money the best way 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 to

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 that he just can't see

She gives him loving 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 on

Human

Don't go chasing waterfalls

Please stick to the

Rivers and the lakes that you're used to

I know that you're

Gonna have it your way or nothing at all

But I think you're moving too fast

Come on

I seen a rainbow yesterday but too many

Storms have come and gone leaving a

Trace of not one god given ray you say because my life is ten

Shades of gray I pray all ten fade away

Seldom praise him for the sunny days

And like his promise is true only my faith can undo

The many chances I blew to

Bring my life to a new

Clear blue and unconditional

Skies have dried the tears from my eyes no more lonely cry

My only bleeding hope is for the

Folks who can't cope with such an enduring pain that it keeps them in the pouring rain

Who's to

Blame for tuting gain into your own vein what a

Shame you shouldn't aim for someone else's brain you

Claim the insane and aim the stay in time for falling prey to

Crime I say the system got you

Victim to your own mind

Dreams are hopeless aspirations

In hopes are calling true

Believe in yourself the rest

Is up to me and don't go chasing waterfalls

Please stick to the

Rivers and the lakes that you're used to

I know that you're

Gonna have it your way or nothing at all but I

Think you're moving too fast

Oh oh moving too fast don't go chasing waterfalls

Please

Stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to

I know that you're

Gonna have it your way or nothing at all

But I think you're moving too
