TLC *  Waterfalls
=================

a lonely mother gazin gout of her windows
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 she doesn't realize he hurt 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 he makes his money
the best way he kows how
another body laying cold in the gutter
liten to me
Chorus:
dont't go chasing waterfalls
please stick to the rivers an the lakes
that you're used to
i know that you're gonna have it your way
or nothing at all
but i think your're moving to 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 an he doesn't know why
3 letters took him to his final resting place
y'all don't hear me
Chorus:
I seen a rainbow yesterday
but too many storms have vome and gone
leavin' a trace
of not on god-given ray
is it because my life is teen shades of gray
i pray alten fade away
sedom praise him for the sunny day
and like his promise is true
only my faith can undo
the many chances i blew
to bring my life to anew
clear blue and unconditional skies
have dried the tears from my eyes
no more lonely cries
my only bleddin' hope
is for the folk who can't scope
wit such an endurin' pain
that it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
who's to blame
for tootin' caine in your own vein
what a shame
you shoot an aim for someones else's brain
you claim the insane
an name this day in time
for fallin' prey to crime
i say the system got you
victim to your own mind
dreams are hopeless aspirations
in hopes of commin' true
believe in yourself
the rest is up to me and you
Chorus.....
