WATERFALLS
TLC

Source: From a posting in a USENET newsgroup

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 his 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

1-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 but 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
3 letters took him to his final resting place
Y'all don't hear me?
(rpt 1)

I see a rainbow yesterday, but too many storms
Have come and gone leavin' a trace of not
Good-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 in your own vein
what a shame

You shoot and aim for someone else's brain
You claim the insane and name his 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
(rpt 1, 1)

Song: Waterfalls
TLC
Album: CrazySexyCool

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 his side
But he doesn't realize he hurt 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 know sho

Another body laying cold in the gutter

Listen to me

chorus


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 but 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
3 letters took him to his final resting place
Y'all don't hear me

Chorus

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 onle bleedin' hope
Is for the fold who can't cope
Wit such and endurin' pain
That it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
Who's to blame
For tootin' caine in 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 yu victim to your own mind

Dreams are hopeless aspirations
In hopes of comin' true
Believe in yourself
