Karaoke Waterfalls TLC

A lonely mother gazin' out of the window

Starin' at a son that she just can't touch

If at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side but he doesn't realize he hurts her so much

But all the prayin' just ain't helpin' at all 'cos he can't seem to keep himself out of trouble

So he goes out and he makes his money the best way he knows how

Another body layin' cold in the gutter

Listen to me

Don't go chasin' 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 nothin' at all but I think you're movin' 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 fadin' and he doesn't know why

Three letters took him to his final restin' place

Y'all don't hear me

Don't go chasin' 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 nothin' at all but I think you're movin' too fast

Don't go chasin' 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 nothin' at all but I think you're movin' too fast

Come on

I seen a rainbow yesterday but too many storms

Have come and gone

Leavin' a trace of not one God-given ray

Is it 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 anew

Clear blue and unconditional skies have dried the tears from my eyes

No more lonely cries

My only bleedin' hope is for the folk who can't cope

With such an endurin' pain that it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain

Who's to blame for tootin' 'caine into your own vein

What a shame, you shoot and aim for someone else's brain

You claim the insane and name this day in time for fallin' prey to crime

I say the system got you victim to your own mind

Dreams are hopeless aspirations in hopes of comin' true

Believe in yourself

The rest is up to me and you

Don't go chasin' 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 nothin' at all but I think you're movin' too fast

Oh you're movin' too fast

Don't go chasin' 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 nothin' at all but I think you're movin' too fast
