Waterfalls

A lonely mother gazing out her window
Staring at a son that she just can't touch
Any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
And all the praying just ain't helping at all
'Cause he can't seem to keep himself out of trouble
Goes out and makes money best way he knows how
Another body laying cold in the gutter

Don't go chasing waterfalls
Just 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 had a natural obsession for temptation
But he just can't see
She gives him loving that his body can't handle
And all he can say is, "Baby, it's good to me"
One day he goes out, takes a glimpse in the mirror
And he doesn't recognize his own face
His health is fading and he doesn't know why
Three letters brought him to his final resting place

Don't go chasing waterfalls
Just 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

So don't go chasing waterfalls
Just 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

Don't go chasing waterfalls
Just 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

Don't go chasing waterfalls
Just stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
