| 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 makes his money
|
| The best way he knows how
|
| Another body laying cold in the gutter
|
| Don’t go chasing waterfalls
|
| Please stick to the rivers and 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 is 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
|
| Don’t go chasing waterfalls
|
| Please stick to the rivers and 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
|
| Dreams are hopeless aspirations
|
| In hopes of comin' true
|
| Believe in yourself
|
| The rest is up to me and you
|
| Don’t go chasing waterfalls
|
| Please stick to the rivers and 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
|
| Don’t go chasing waterfalls
|
| Please stick to the rivers and 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 |
