[00:00.00]Waterfalls - TLC
[00:17.35]Written by：Brandon Bennett/Marqueze Etheridge/Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes/Organized Noize
[00:34.71]A lonely mother gazing out of her window
[00:38.82]Staring at a son that she just can't touch
[00:42.66]
[00:43.71]If at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side
[00:49.33]But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
[00:53.91]
[00:56.70]But all the praying just ain't helping at all
[01:00.86]'Cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble
[01:05.53]
[01:06.06]So he goes out and he makes his money the best way he know how
[01:12.07]Another body laying cold in the gutter
[01:16.61]Listen to me
[01:18.36]
[01:18.94]Don't go chasing waterfalls
[01:22.90]Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[01:27.93]
[01:28.46]I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[01:34.09]But I think you're moving too fast
[01:37.39]
[01:41.87]Little precious has a natural obsession for temptation
[01:47.36]But he just can't see
[01:49.63]
[01:52.63]She give him loving that his body can't handle
[01:57.14]But all he can say is baby it's good to me
[02:01.48]
[02:04.03]One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
[02:08.36]But he doesn't recognize his own face
[02:12.12]
[02:15.02]His health is fading and he doesn't know why
[02:19.14]Three letters took him to his final resting place
[02:23.90]Y'all don't hear me
[02:25.97]Don't go chasing waterfalls
[02:29.97]Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[02:34.99]
[02:35.55]I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[02:41.16]But I think you're moving too fast
[02:44.74]
[02:48.30]Don't go chasing waterfalls
[02:52.31]Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[02:57.33]
[02:57.90]I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[03:03.50]But I think you're moving too fast
[03:06.75]
[03:08.86]Come on
[03:09.33]
[03:10.56]I seen rainbow yesterday
[03:12.31]But too many storms have come and gone
[03:14.33]Leavin' a trace of not on God-given ray
[03:16.45]Is it because my life is ten shades of gray
[03:18.63]I pray all ten fade away
[03:19.91]Seldom praise him for the sunny days
[03:21.91]And like his promise is true
[03:23.33]Only my faith can undo
[03:24.70]The many chances I blew
[03:26.00]To bring my life to anew
[03:27.67]Clear blue and unconditional skies
[03:29.63]Have dried the tears from my eyes
[03:31.06]No more lonely cries
[03:32.86]My only bleedin' hope
[03:33.86]Is for the folk who can't cope
[03:35.22]Wit such an endurin' pain
[03:36.72]That it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
[03:38.80]Who's to blame
[03:39.47]For tootin' caine in your own vein
[03:41.46]What a shame
[03:42.17]You shoot and aim for someone else's brain
[03:44.03]You claim the insane
[03:44.92]And name this day in time
[03:46.13]For falling prey to crime
[03:47.20]I say the system got you victim to your own mind
[03:49.93]Dreams are hopeless aspirations
[03:51.64]In hopes of comin' true
[03:53.11]Believe in yourself
[03:54.00]The rest is up to me and you
[03:55.62]Don't go chasing waterfalls
[03:59.33]Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[04:04.34]
[04:04.87]I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[04:10.54]But I think you're moving too fast
[04:13.91]
[04:17.82]Don't go chasing waterfalls
[04:21.72]Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
[04:27.27]I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
[04:32.96]But I think you're moving too fast
