Waterfalls Lyrics
A ( lonely ) mother ( gazed 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 ( prayers ) 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 ( there ) in the ( corner 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 nat'ral ( way obsession) for ( sensation temptation),
but he just can't see.
She gives him ( love ) 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 ( grid glimpse) in the ( mirror ),
but he doesn't ( recognize ) his ( own ) face.
His ( hope health) is ( fading ) and he doesn't know why.
Three letters took him to his ( final ) ( resting ) place.
Y'all don't hear me.
