Testo Waterfalls - Single Edit - TLC
Testo della canzone Waterfalls - Single Edit (TLC), tratta dall'album Masters Series - R&B Party Jams
A lonely mother gazin' out of the 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 prayin' just ain't helpin' 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 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 fading and he doesn't know why
Three letters took him to his final resting place
Ya'll 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
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 and 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
