Scott Bradlee & Postmodern Jukebox - Waterfalls Lyrics

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
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 to 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
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 to fast
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
I pray all ten fade away
Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
My only bleedin' hope
Is for the folk who can't cope
Wit' such an endurin' pain
That 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 claime the insane
And name this day in time
For fallin' pray to crime
I say the system got you victim in your own mimd
Dreams are hopeless aspirations
In hopes of comin' true
Believe in yourself
The rest is up to me and you
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 moving moving you
moving to fast, moving to fast
moving to fast, you moving to fast
Chasing waterfalls
