Waterfalls - TLC

[00:00.000] 作词 : Etheridge, Lopes ...
[00:33.930]A lonely mother gazing out of her window
[00:38.930]Staring at a son that she just can't touch
[00:43.610]If at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side
[00:49.170]But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
[00:56.470]But all the praying just ain't helping
[00:59.590]At all 'cause he can't seem to keep
[01:02.770]His self out of trouble
[01:06.010]So he goes out and he makes his money
[01:09.380]The best way he knows how
[01:11.750]Another body laying cold in the gutter, listen to me
[01:18.770]Don't go chasing waterfalls
[01:22.570]Please stick to the rivers
[01:24.760]And the lakes that you're used to
[01:28.190]I know that you're gonna have it your way
[01:31.980]Or nothing at all
[01:34.100]But I think you're moving too fast
[01:41.980]Little precious has a natural obsession
[01:46.220]For temptation but he just can't see
[01:52.640]She gives him loving that his body can't handle
[01:57.140]But all he can say is baby it's good to me
[02:04.400]One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
[02:09.270]But he doesn't recognize his own face
[02:16.720]His health is fading and he doesn't know why
[02:20.430]3 letters took him to his final resting place
[02:25.270]Y'all don't hear me?
[02:25.610]Don't go chasing waterfalls
[02:29.960]Please stick to the rivers
[02:32.620]And the lakes that you're used to
[02:36.720]I know that you're gonna have it your way
[02:40.210]Or nothing at all
[02:42.930]But I think you're moving too fast
[02:49.410]Don't go chasing waterfalls
[02:53.420]Please stick to the rivers
[02:55.770]And the lakes that you're used to
[02:59.000]I know that you're gonna have it your way
[03:02.460]Or nothing at all
[03:04.050]But I think you're moving too fast
[03:12.400]I see a rainbow yesterday, but too many storms
[03:15.500]Have come and gone leavin' a trace of not
[03:17.500]Good-given ray, is it because my life is ten
[03:19.750]Shades of gray, I pray all ten fade away
[03:21.960]Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
[03:23.680]And like His promise is true only my faith can undo
[03:26.670]The many chances I blew to bring my life to anew
[03:28.990]Clear blue and unconditional skies
[03:31.350]Have dried the tears from my eyes
[03:31.720]No more lonely cries
[03:35.120]My only bleedin' hope
[03:35.820]Is for the folk who can't cope
[03:36.590]Wit such an endurin' pain
[03:37.960]That it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
[03:39.840]Who's to blame
[03:40.530]For tootin' caine in your own vein
[03:42.940]What a shame
[03:43.150]You shoot and aim for someone else's brain
[03:45.220]You claim the insane
[03:46.680]And name this day in time
[03:47.870]For fallin' prey to crime
[03:49.210]I say the system got you victim to your own mind
[03:50.590]Dreams are hopeless aspirations
[03:51.960]In hopes of comin' true
[03:54.470]Believe in yourself
[03:55.530]The rest is up to me and you
[03:56.390]Don't go chasing waterfalls
[04:00.310]Please stick to the rivers
[04:02.910]And the lakes that you're used to
[04:07.430]I know that you're gonna have it your way
[04:10.860]Or nothing at all
[04:13.040]But I think you're moving too fast
[04:20.330]Don't go chasing waterfalls
[04:24.140]Please stick to the rivers
[04:25.960]And the lakes that you're used to
[04:29.750]I know that you're gonna have it your way
[04:33.250]Or nothing at all
