Waterfalls

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 himself out of trouble
 So he goes out, and he 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 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 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, 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
 I told him
 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
 (Ooh) ooh
 (Aah) aah-aah
 Ooh-ooh
 Ah
 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
 (Moving too fast) moving too fast
 Don't go chasing waterfalls, waterfalls
 (Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to) oh my God, stick to what you are used to
 (I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all)
 But I think you're moving too fast
 Moving too fast
