Namie Amuro - Waterfalls (feat. TLC)

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
Listen to me

Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that your gonna have it your way
Or nothing at all
But I think your'e moving too fast

Little precious has a natural obsession
For tempation 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
3 Letters took him to his final resting place

Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that your gonna have it your way
Or nothing at all
But I think your'e moving too fast
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that your gonna have it your way
Or nothing at all
But I think your'e moving too fast

I saw a rainbow the other day
Leavin' a trace of not on God-given ray
Is it because my life is ten shades of gray
Cause I am praying on the shades could just fade away?
And like his promise
My faith can undo
And all the great chances that I just blew?
Clear blue and unconditional skies
Have dried the tears from my eyes
No more lonely cries
My hope is for the folk who can't cope
Wit such an endurin' pain
That it keeps 'em inside the pourin' rain
Who's to blame
For tootin' caine in your own vein
What a shame
You shoot and aim
You claim that you insane
Dreams are hopeless aspirations
Believe in yourself
The rest is up to me and you

Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that your gonna have it your way
Or nothing at all
But I think your'e moving too fast
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that your gonna have it your way
Or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast
